Here, we look at some interesting stories that have dominated WWE Headlines over the last couple of days. So, without further ado, let’s begin.
#5 Roman Reigns discloses best WrestleMania stage for dream match against The Rock in WWE
Ever since Roman Reigns hailed himself as The Head of the Table, fans have been speculating about a potential clash between the Universal Champion and iconic WWE Superstar, The Rock. Reigns recently acknowledged the idea and shared his thoughts on the best possible event to book the highly-anticipated match.
He believes he can face The Rock at WrestleMania 38 next year. However, he thinks that it would be better if their dream match is booked for WrestleMania 39 instead, which is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles. WWE has also alternatively labeled the event "WrestleMania Hollywood."
“Do we do it now or do we wait until we’re in his backyard of Hollywood? It just adds to the narrative. It adds another dynamic to speculate on. Obviously, AT&T Stadium, Dallas, home of the Cowboys, 100,000-plus fans can be in attendance, that’s obviously an awesome scenario, but SoFi Stadium, brand-new facility out there in L.A., hmm, that makes quite the argument in its own right," said Roman Reigns.
Paul Heyman commented on a potential dream match between Roman Reigns and The Rock at WrestleMania earlier this month. He argued that the Universal Champion is the biggest draw in WWE today and asserted that The Brahma Bull would bid farewell to his wrestling career if he steps inside the ring for a match against Reigns.
“The Rock is a member of the table? I serve as Special Counsel to the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. That is not a subject Roman Reigns wishes to address publicly at this time, either in The Rock’s favour or to The Rock’s detriment, because The Rock may not be welcome at our table. Roman Reigns will let you know when it’s appropriate for Roman Reigns to let you know. If The Rock steps into the ring with Roman Reigns at any time, let alone at WrestleMania, that will be The Rock’s farewell, whether The Rock wants it to be or not,” said Paul Heyman.
Roman Reigns is currently involved in an entertaining feud with John Cena. Both superstars are set to face each other for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam 2021. They recently engaged in an epic war of words on SmackDown that left viewers wanting more.
