Matt Hardy believes The Rock and Roman Reigns will face off at WrestleMania.
On a recent edition of WWE SmackDown, The Rock would make his explosive return to the WWE to confront Austin Theory.
In the segment, The Rock would verbally eviscerate Theory, leading a round of “you are an asshole” chants that lasted quite a while, leading to Pat McAfee remarking that the show is only two hours.
With this appearance, fans have renewed hope that The Rock and Roman Reigns will lock up at WrestleMania 40.
On an Xtreme Life of Matt Hardy episode dedicated to The Rock, Matt Hardy gave his thoughts on the potential bout.
“It’s a huge match. It’s huge, and I think it would lead to a very successful WrestleMania,” he said.
When asked if he feel s the bout will happen, Matt replied, “I do. I feel like now that Rocky has been speaking about it and saying it was almost greenlit for last year, and now they might do it this year… I feel like if he’s even mentioning it in any capacity, that it’s in his mind to do. Yeah, I do think it will happen, and I do think it will be a huge draw. I don’t think the diehard wrestling fans will get the match that they want, but it’s going to be a huge spectacle, one that will have casual fans extremely interested in, and they’re gonna wanna tune in and watch it.”
