Wrestling enthusiasts across the globe are still holding their breath, eager to witness a clash of titans at WrestleMania 40 – The Rock vs. Roman Reigns. The anticipation has been palpable, but the road to this dream match has been anything but straightforward.
In a candid revelation on “The Pat McAfee Show” last year, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson let the cat out of the bag. He shared that a match against Roman Reigns was all set for WrestleMania 39. A handshake deal was struck following a meeting with WWE officials in Los Angeles. The stage was seemingly set for an epic encounter between the two wrestling legends.
However, as often happens in the world of wrestling, the script didn’t quite pan out as expected. The Rock and WWE found themselves in a creative quandary, unable to concoct the perfect storyline for the battle. Consequently, they decided to hit the pause button on these talks. Yet, wrestling fans remained hopeful for this colossal showdown.

Fast forward to today, and The Rock has made it clear that he’s still game for the epic clash. This time, he’s proposing WrestleMania 40 in the vibrant city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as the stage for this electrifying duel. The wrestling world is buzzing with excitement, waiting for official confirmation.
While fans are clamoring for The Rock vs. Roman Reigns, the WWE appears to be cautiously optimistic. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, respected wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer delves into WWE’s stance. He reports that, internally, WWE seems open to The Rock’s proposal, believing it would be unwise to turn down such a marquee matchup. However, there’s a twist to this tale.
Meltzer notes that despite The Rock’s interest, the match is not currently scheduled for WrestleMania 40. Unlike the previous year, where the bout seemed highly likely, the situation is now shrouded in uncertainty. The prevailing belief is that The Rock has plenty on his plate once ongoing wrestling strikes conclude. It’s also made clear that The Rock isn’t coming back to claim a championship title.
If the match materializes, fans may witness Roman Reigns’ triumph, followed by The Rock potentially retiring from in-ring action. While the road to this blockbuster showdown remains a winding one, the wrestling world eagerly waits for the final chapter to be written. The fate of The Rock vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40 hangs in the balance, promising a spectacle that fans won’t forget.
