Roman Reigns is certainly busy at the moment, gearing up for a thrilling triple threat match against Seth Rollins and CM Punk at WrestleMania 41. But come WrestleMania 42 in New Orleans, the stage will be set for a much-anticipated encounter that fans have been eagerly waiting for: a clash with The Final Boss, none other than his cousin, The Rock.
Sure, the prospect of Reigns going head-to-head with Rollins and Punk is exciting and makes perfect sense. Yet, there’s nagging speculation about an alternate scenario that could have been just as enticing. Imagine a lineup featuring Punk versus Rollins, Cena pitted against Rhodes, and Reigns finally facing off against The Rock. Unfortunately, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson appears to have a packed schedule at the moment, putting that match on hold for now.
It nearly happened last year, until Cody Rhodes, quite rightly, decided to take on Roman Reigns for the undisputed WWE championship at WrestleMania 40. Despite any personal issues Reigns and his cousin might have, the anticipation of their matchup continues to build. The looming question is, when should this epic battle take place? The answer seems obvious: WrestleMania 42.
### Roman Reigns vs The Rock: The Match Fans Are Craving
The essence of The Rock’s Final Boss gimmick is leading up to the moment when someone must step up and dethrone him. While it would be thrilling to see Cody challenge him, the real showdown we all expect is Roman Reigns proving he is the definitive Tribal Chief, Head of the Table, and all the accolades that come with it.
By the time WrestleMania 42 rolls around in New Orleans, The Rock will be nearing his 54th birthday. For such a legendary figure, there’s no better time than when his physical capabilities still match his desire for one last iconic moment in the ring.
For Reigns, the wrestling world doesn’t hold many more milestones to conquer. Securing a victory against The Rock would cement his legacy as one of the greatest in the professional wrestling realm, a win that would certainly mark his career with undeniable distinction.
