Roman Reigns is now one of the longest-reigning champions in the history of WWE. He is also the cousin of The Brahma Bull, and the clash between these two behemoths is a highly anticipated match in the WWE Universe. Most of the fans are expecting it to happen at the grandest stage in Triple-H-led promotion, which is WrestleMania.

But recently there are news reports incoming which suggest something else. According to Dave Meltzer of WON, Dwyane Johnson vs Roman Reigns could also take place in Perth, Australia. Moreover, he said, “Given the story that the government there specifically requested Johnson on the 2/24 Elimination Chamber show, and it also could be at the next show in Saudi Arabia, which does not have a date“.
The government there is ready to pay a huge additional bonus to the company for bringing The Rock to the event. But still, there is no confirmation of it. The bout between these two cousins could happen at the Elimination Chamber, at an event in Saudi Arabia that does not have a date for now, or probably at WrestleMania 40.
The dream match between the two legendary superstars in Australia could be a golden opportunity for WWE. The company could deliver its biggest bookings in an international PLE because of The Rock factor. The company is booming in its business prospects under Nick Khan. If he can sell a full-house dream match as a non-WrestleMania match, it would become an ultimate flex for him.
The Rock teased about his feud with Roman Reigns on his return to WWE
Upon returning to Monday Night RAW, The Rock interrupted and shut up Jinder Mahal, who was also returning to WWE. After beating down Mahal, Rock teased his upcoming feud with Roman Reigns in a cryptic message. Since then, there has been constant buzz on the internet about a face-off between these two superstars.

He said, “The Rock is going out. I’m gonna go get something to eat. Should The Rock sit in a booth? Or should The Rock sit at the bar? Or, should I sit at the Head of the Table?”. His statement was enough to make the crowd go crazy. The Rock vs. Roman has been a highly anticipated match since WrestleMania 39. Fans were disheartened when it could not happen back then. But with his return to WWE, the prospects for this match are very high.
