WWE news: The Rock comments on possible dream match vs Roman Reigns at WrestleMania

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s reported reaction to the possible dream match against his cousin Roman Reigns in WWE, has been revealed by former WWE writer Brian Gerwitz, during an interview with Wrestling Inc. The Rock has gone on to become a global superstar as an actor in Hollywood after taking over the world as a pro-wrestler. A scene in the popular NBC sitcom ‘Young Rock’, shows Reigns as a kid trying to wrestle The Rock, which acted as a teaser for the dream matchup.

Meanwhile, speaking to Wrestling Inc., renowned screenwriter Gerwitz said, “I remember running it by Dwayne and he said, 'I don't know if the match is going to happen.' Maybe it does or maybe it doesn't, but it's certainly a cool moment in the 'Young Rock' universe. If it does happen, then you know that little clip is going to be in the big video package so it works either way. That's how I see it."

The Rock’s last official match in WWE came in 2016, during the WrestleMania 32 Pay Per View (PPV). He defeated Erick Rowan in within six seconds and has been absent from the ring since then. The Rock’s last title reign came in January 2013, when he clinched the WWE championship title after defeating former superstar CM Punk at WWE Royal Rumble 2012.
