Roman Reigns took some massive shots at The Rock recently
Roman Reigns vs. The Rock is currently one of the most anticipated dream matches. The Universal Champion has spoken on multiple occasions about potentially facing his cousin and former WWE Champion. Speaking on ESPN show SportsNation, Roman Reigns warned John Cena and The Rock, asking them to stay away from the ring.
“Yeah, that’s a dream for a lot of our fans [Roman Reigns vs. The Rock],” Reigns said. “It ain’t a dream for him, you know what I mean? I get this a lot with Dwayne and John Cena as well. These guys are doing very well for themselves. There’s no question about it, so I don’t know."
“If I were these guys, I don’t know if I’d wanna come back and deal with me. I am a problem right now for everybody, so if I were them I would stay on set. I’d keep pumping out these streaming service movies. Don’t come to the ring… is what I would do.” said Reigns
WWE is subtly building a base for the eventual return of The Rock and a feud against Roman Reigns. This might just be the main event of next year's WrestleMania 38, which is set to take place at the AT&T Stadium in Texas.
