WWE star beating Roman Reigns & losing to Cody Rhodes could lead to The Rock's return, says Mark Henry
The Rock has been absent from WWE television since April. However, Hall of Famer, Mark Henry thinks two massive matches could lead to his return to the Stamford-based company.
On the Busted Open podcast, The World's Strongest Man discussed Jacob Fatu potentially going head-to-head against Roman Reigns. He suggested The Samoan Werewolf could defeat The Original Tribal Chief in their potential square-off with the help of The Bloodline.
Henry agreed that beating Reigns would make Fatu a legitimate threat to Cody Rhodes and his Undisputed WWE Championship. He pointed out that the 32-year-old potentially losing to The American Nightmare could lead to The Rock's return to show everyone that he was better than the current crop of stars.
"You know what that sets up? That sets up The Rock coming in and going like this, 'I'm better than all of ya'll. And just because you beat Jacob, just because you beat Roman, just because you beat up Tama Tonga, you're not gonna beat The Rock. The Rock is the greatest of all time. The Rock is The People's Champ. The Rock is The Final Boss.' And in every video game, what do you have at the end of every video game? The Final Boss," he said. [13:45 - 14:32]

The Rock made a promise to Cody Rhodes before taking a break from WWE
The Rock and Cody Rhodes had a heated feud heading into WrestleMania 40. Although the 52-year-old pinned The American Nightmare on Night One of The Show of Shows to pick up the victory for his and Roman Reigns' team, he failed to help his cousin retain his title on Night Two.
On RAW After WrestleMania, The Final Boss confronted the newly-crowned Undisputed WWE Champion. He informed Rhodes that he was not done with him, promising to come after him upon his return to the Stamford-based company.
The Rock previously disclosed that they were planning the biggest match of all time for WrestleMania 41. Recent reports suggested the company was discussing having The Final Boss against The American Nightmare at next year's Show of Shows. It would be interesting to see if that would come to fruition.
