The Rock, armed with 'The Most Electrifying Move in Sports Entertainment', the People's Elbow, seemed like he was built to be the face of WWE and a constant fixture at WrestleMania, for, well, forever. While The Rock did main event his fair share of The Show of Shows, he hasn't graced the annual climax of the WWE for a long time. Specifically, his last time inside the bright lights of WrestleMania was in 2016 at WrestleMania 32 as he squashed Erik Rowan in a six-second match. Before this, his last full-length match was in 2013 when he faced off against John Cena with the WWE Championship on the line.
Over a decade since The Rock properly tussled with the face of the Ruthless Aggression era, Dwayne Johnson is hinting at a possible return to in-ring action, specifically to face his cousin, Roman Reigns, at WrestleMania 40.
During an appearance on ESPN's First Take, The Rock discussed the chance of wrestling against Reigns, expressing that he sees an opportunity for it to be "the greatest and the biggest WrestleMania of all time." His return to WWE on the Day 1 edition of Monday Night RAW further fueled speculations, especially after he teased about taking over as the new Head of the Table, a spot held by Reigns.
The Rock's recent appointment as the newest member of TKO Group Holdings' board of directors, overseeing WWE and UFC, suggests a more significant involvement in WWE, making a match with Reigns seem even more plausible.
