Triple H and the WWE were pumping up a former WWE Champion’s return during RAW’s Day One event. They more than delivered when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson showed up. With speculation running rapidly that he could face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, what was the Tribal Chief’s reaction to his cousin appearing on the Red brand?
Roman Reigns Reacts To The Rock’s WWE RAW Promo
Of course, the WWE teased fans until the very last minute when they sent out Jinder Mahal as the “former WWE Champion” who was making a splashing return to RAW. The Rock’s music hit shortly after, the crowd popped, and the promo he spit out, delivered.
Roman Reigns jumped on social media and tweeted his reaction to his cousin’s appearance on the Red brand after the show closed. See the above post.
During The Rock’s promo, he suggested that he’ll take a seat at the head of the table when he goes out to dinner, after the show. This tidbit was not lost on WWE fans, media, or the Tribal Chief, for that matter.
With speculation running wild for a while now about a possible WM 40 match between Reigns and The Rock, the “head of the table” comment has re-ignited the buzz. With that being said, it’s also possible that the two face each other before the Grandest Stage of Them All.
The Rock Versus Roman Reigns
After all, the WWE has a major event happening in Australia when the Elimination Chamber heads Down Under this February. During a recent interview, Johson notes that a bout between him and Roman was scrapped for WM 39.
How Will WWE Replace Kevin Dunn?
It seems that he, Vince McMahon, and WWE President Nick Khan were unable to produce something “unprecedented”, so the match was nixed. However, The Rock also made it clear that he was open to facing Roman at WM 40.
