The Rock is currently engaged in a lot of drama after Cody Rhodes temporarily handed him the WrestleMania 40 main event.
Roman Reigns might have made a huge mistake by trusting The Rock ahead of WrestleMania 40.

Roman Reigns is the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion and he has been on top of the world for well over three years now. That is why it comes as no surprise he is viewed as the biggest star in professional wrestling. Fans still want him to face off against The Rock, and it appears The Tribal Chief might have made a huge mistake by trusting Dwayne Johnson.

Fans have been eagerly anticipating a potential showdown between The Rock and Roman Reigns, but there were concerns about it overshadowing Cody Rhodes’ storyline. Initially, it appeared to be heading in that direction, but cooler heads prevailed. As a result, fans will now witness Cody Rhodes going head-to-head with Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 40 instead.

With recent developments, it is quite evident that Cody Rhodes is singularly focused on The Rock, barely acknowledging his upcoming match against Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.

While speaking on WrestleBinge, former WWE writer Vince Russo weighed in on Cody Rhodes’ approach and speculated on why he seems to have shifted his attention away from Roman Reigns.

“I’m listening to him, and I’m saying to myself, first of all, here’s my first question. Who are you wrestling at WrestleMania? The Rock or Roman Reigns? Because the way he’s cutting this promo, The Rock has already gotten in his head. You’ve forgotten all about Roman Reigns. Not a tag match, bro. The match against Roman Reigns, you waited a year for this. You’re not talking about Roman Reigns at all.”

Judging by what Vince Russo had to say, it is quite evident The Tribal Chief of WWE made a big mistake by trusting The Great One ahead of WrestleMania 40, where he and The Great One will be teaming up to square off against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins on the Night One of the Show of Shows.

The Rock’s Dream Match With Roman Reigns Might Have Been Confirmed

WWE and professional wrestling, while not classified as competitive combat sports like others, impose substantial physical demands on the body. This necessitates rigorous training for participants, regardless of their experience level. Even seasoned wrestlers like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson must undergo thorough preparation before each match to ensure they are physically and mentally prepared for the challenges ahead.

After a four-year hiatus, The Rock returned to WWE in September 2023 but has yet to compete in a match. Paul Heyman, WWE’s newest Hall of Fame inductee, in a recent interview with Jimmy Traina from Sports Illustrated, talked about The Rock’s conditioning for a match.

Upon his return to WWE, The Brahma Bull initially aimed to face Reigns for the Head of the Table title, diverting from fans’ expectations of Cody Rhodes concluding his storyline. However, a sudden heel-turn led to Johnson teaming up with his cousin instead.

In discussing the potential for a dream match between Johnson and Reigns without the heel-turn, Paul Heyman expressed optimism, stating, “Could Dwayne Johnson have come back and put together a really classic, very memorable 15-minute match with Roman Reigns for this year’s WrestleMania without going through that training? I bet he could.” Heyman was positive about the feasibility of a fifteen-minute bout.
