During a recent appearance on the SI Media Podcast, WWE Superstar Roman Reigns shared his thoughts on the possibility of facing off against Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the ring. Reigns expressed that while a matchup between the two could be an exciting and monumental event, he believes that the decision ultimately lies in the hands of the fans. According to Reigns, if there’s enough demand from the WWE Universe, they could certainly make the match a reality. He emphasized that the potential for such a high-profile bout depends on fan interest and timing.
Reigns also spoke about the respect and connection he has with The Rock, noting how their shared family heritage and history in the wrestling business could create a storyline worthy of such a clash. The idea of this dream match has generated significant buzz among fans, and Reigns’ comments have only fueled speculation about when, or if, this highly anticipated showdown might occur. Below are some highlights from his interview, as reported by Fightful:
Roman Reigns on a possible match with The Rock:
“Our fanbase and the company has proven that if the fans are loud enough and passionate enough about something, we’re a company who….we’re not being dictated to and we have a vision for where we’re trying to go, but we know who the consumers are and who are spending their hard-earned money. We want to satisfy those people. We have to do it in a regard that is going to attract more eyes and bring more people in. Dwayne (Johnson aka The Rock) is always going to be in that role. He’s always going to be a guy that magnetizes and makes the broadcast even bigger.”
Roman Reigns on making the match if the fans want it:
“If that’s the case and the people want it. That’s what’s cool. We have such a strong set of talent. Who would have thought Cody would have so much admiration that it could have broken up the plans of Tribal Chief vs. People’s Champion? That, in its own right, is outstanding and amazing. That goes to back to, there is a lot of meat on the bone. If Dwayne can’t come in and ‘boom, this is how it is,’ that’s when you know you’re cooking up with good ingredients.”
Roman Reigns on WWE being in an unprecedented time:
“That’s why he is tied in the way he is and part of the board. We’re at an unprecedented time right now. Business is great and we want to continue to push things up. If that’s what the people want, and the People’s Champ is down, I’m sure we can make something happen.”
