In an interview with the Orlando Sentinel, which you can access in full by clicking here, Roman Reigns discussed a variety of topics including his cousin The Rock and a possible showdown at WrestleMania.
Question: Your cousin The Rock is going to be a part of this year’s WrestleMania. Do you think the two of you will ever have a match?
Answer: “I don’t know. That depends on what goes down in Dallas I would think. You have to tune in…check it out.”
Question: Do you want a match with him?
Answer: “He’s The Rock. He’s the biggest movie star and biggest name in Hollywood right now. Why wouldn’t I want to punch that in the face a couple of times?”
Roman is either clearly planting a seed for a possible confrontation with The Rock at WrestleMania or he is just being coy and playing along with the question.
The role of The Rock at this year’s WrestleMania is as unclear as it ever has been. Aside from an announcement on social media & a surprise appearance on Raw, he hasn’t even discussed what his role will be. This is an interesting intangible.
If WWE is truly planning on moving Roman Reigns into a heel position (I discussed a scenario for a Reigns heel turn at this link) they should consider having him turn on his real life cousin, The Rock.
