The Rock vs Roman Reigns may seem more likely to happen in Hollywood than a WWE ring right now.
Ever since Roman Reigns turned heel and took on the nickname of being The Tribal Chief, fans have been calling for a matchup with The Rock. Unfortunately with The Rock’s movie business, he very rarely even has time to cut a promo on WWE TV, let alone work a storyline and match.
On Jim Cornette’s Drive Thru show, Jim Cornette stated that he believes The Rock would only agree to a match with Reigns if Reigns wins. He expressed his doubts over The Rock accepting the match in the first place.
“Well if the if the belt ain’t on the line, I was going to say, because Roman obviously needs to win the thing but will they do that or will they, if they get The Rock, even if The Rock says Roman needs to win, will they will they send the fans home without seeing The Rock win on his last match ever probably?”
“One of these sharp writers and/or manipulators could probably sell anybody even Roman Reigns on that as making some kind of sense but Rock would know it was bulls*it from the start and I can’t see The Rock agreeing to do the match unless Roman goes over because Rock doesn’t need it, but Roman (it) would hurt. Nothing’s going gonna hurt The Rock but it would hurt Roman so I can’t see Rock doing it unless Roman wins and I honestly can’t see Vince doing the match unless Rock wins.”

Time will tell if we will get to see this dream match occur.
