Roman Reigns comments on potentially facing The Rock.
Fans have buzzed about the match for years, and it was set to become a reality at WWE WrestleMania 40. However, fans rallied around Cody Rhodes, so Reigns faced Rhodes instead. The Rock has teased targeting Rhodes since then, but some have speculated that he could still have Reigns in his sights.
Speaking on SI Media with Jimmy Traina, Roman Reigns was asked whether he thought his match against The Rock would still happen at some point.
“I think our fan base and the company has proven that if our fans are loud enough and passionate enough about something, we’re a company who, we’re not being dictated to,” Reigns said. “We have a vision for where we’re trying to go, but we know who the consumers are, we know who’s paying their hard-earned money, and we want to satisfy those people, but we have to do it in a regard that’s gonna attract more eyes and bring more people in.
“Dwayne’s always gonna be in that role. He’s always gonna be a guy that magnetizes and makes the broadcast even bigger, so if that’s the case and the people want it, but that’s what’s cool. We’ve had such a strong set of talent on our roster.”
Roman Reigns On Plans Changing
Reigns also highlighted how the fans rallying around Cody Rhodes changed the plans for WWE WrestleMania 40. He reiterated that if the fans wanted the match and The Rock was down, he was sure they could make something happen.
“Who would have thought Cody could have had so much admiration that he could have broken up the plans of Tribal Chief versus The People’s Champion? That in its own right is pretty outstanding,” Reigns said. “It’s amazing. So I think that just goes back to yeah, there’s a lot of meat on the bone, and if Dwayne can’t come in and just, ‘Boom, this is how it is, brother,’ then that’s when you know you’re cooking up with some really good ingredients.
“I think that’s why he is tied in the way he is, that’s why he’s a part of the board and a part of everything the way he is because we’re at an unprecedented time right now. Business is great, and we just want to continue to push things up, so if that’s what the people want and The People’s Champ is down, I’m sure we can make something happen.
