WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is on the back of an incredible family feud against his cousin Jey Uso. The Big Dog defeated Jey at the Clash of Champions pay-per-view to retain his title. One other family feud that the WWE Universe has been talking for ages now is a potential rivalry between Reigns and The Rock.
Roman Reigns and The Rock have shared very little screen time in WWE. In one of the more memorable moments between the two cousins on WWE TV, The Great One came to the aid of Reigns at the 2015 Royal Rumble.
While recently speaking on his YouTube channel, The Rock acknowledged the possibility of a match between him and Reigns. It's one that the WWE Universe has been desperately hoping to see for quite some time now.
Trending
The Great One claimed that he is open to the idea of a match with Roman Reigns and is very much aware of what it could generate in terms of box office draw. The Big Dog himself responded to The Rock's comments via Twitter.
He claimed that his priority is to put his family's name on top of the card, which he did nicely at Clash of Champions against Jey Uso. He is willing to do exactly the same against The Rock at WrestleMania.
The Rock and Roman Reigns are seemingly on board for a potential match against each other at WrestleMania. Now the only thing left to be done is to have WWE aboard the hype train and invest in what could be the biggest family feud in modern history.
One of the better ways to initiate this feud would be to have Reigns go after The Rock's recent Clash of Champions comments. While The Great One was all praise for Reigns vs. Jey, he did admit that he didn't watch the match. That enough should be a solid reason for The Tribal Chief to not be impressed with his antics and call him out for WrestleMania.
This article lists the five reasons why Roman Reigns vs. The Rock must happen at The Grandest Stage of Them All. Let's get straight into it.
#5 Roman Reigns' heel turn makes this feud a lot more interesting
Roman Reigns' return to WWE this summer has been one of the biggest talking points in the world of pro wrestling so far. What made it much more special is the fact that he has finally turned heel and aligned himself with Paul Heyman.
A feud against a babyface Rock would only make things much better. After all, a few years ago, we did get a little hint of what a feud between a babyface Rock and a heel Roman Reigns would look like.
#4 The family feud factor makes Roman Reigns vs. The Rock a must-watch
WWE absolutely nailed it with the recent feud between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso, while the other half of The Usos in Jimmy is sidelined. WWE presented a rare opportunity to tag team specialist Jey to compete in a huge world title affair with his cousin.
In the lead-up to the feud, the two brothers didn't miss with their promos. With Reigns' heel tactics getting darker by the day, things seemed a lot more intense than they should've been.
Fast forward to Clash of Champions, WWE once again outdid themselves with the match between Roman Reigns and Jey. In what could possibly be argued as one of the best matches of Reigns' career, The Big Dog portrayed his character beautifully throughout the match. Whereas, Jey played the role of the underdog who came agonizingly close to winning the world title. Eventually, Reigns forced Jimmy Uso to make his way down to the ring and throw in the towel for his brother.
With such amazing theatrics, WWE surely can't mess up booking Roman Reigns vs. The Rock.
#3 The Rock needs to return against Roman Reigns for one more match
Ever since jumping ship to Hollywood, The Rock has competed on a handful occasions in WWE. While he did win the WWE Championship off CM Punk a few years ago and competed against John Cena at WrestleMania, The Great One, more than anyone, deserves to end his run on a high note. Roman Reigns could be the one to help him with that final run.
As things stand, The Rock's last official match in WWE was in 2016 when he made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 32, only to be interrupted by The Wyatt Family.
If that wasn't enough, The Rock switched to his wrestling gear and competed in a match against Erick Rowan, one that the former won within six seconds. The win meant that The Rock had registered the fastest win in WrestleMania history before announcing his retirement in August 2019.
Now surely one wouldn't be pleased with the fact that an eight-time WWE Champion's final match was a six-second squash match. In order to fix that, the perfect send-off for The Great One would be to bring him back for one final dance with his cousin Roman Reigns, of all people. The perfect farewell gift.
#2 Not Roman Reigns, but Paul Heyman vs. The Rock would be a historic battle on the mic
Roman Reigns' cousin The Rock wasn't only regarded as one of the best wrestlers during the Attitude Era. Matter of fact, the former multiple-time WWE World Champion was one of the best in the business when it came to cutting a promo, if not the best of all time.
Similarly, Paul Heyman is quite easily considered as one of the greatest managers of all time, if not the greatest of this generation, mostly due to his incredible skills on the microphone. Heyman, with Roman Reigns by his side, has proved how good he is on the mic and the same can be said for The Rock.
With Heyman doing the talking for his new client Roman Reigns, things ought to be a lot more interesting, especially when you have The Rock cutting a promo as the opposition party.
Heyman and Rock are more than capable of hyping up this feud just by their promo skills, while Roman Reigns chimes in with the action in making sure that this feud is one that the WWE Universe shouldn't miss.
#1 A win over The Rock cements Roman Reigns' place as the biggest heel in WWE
Roman Reigns is currently one of the finest heels in the professional wrestling world and it has only been a matter of weeks since he decided to drop his babyface moniker for good.
Within the next six months or so, Roman Reigns is only going to grow further as a heel, as he continues to dominate on the blue brand of Friday Night SmackDown.
However, if WWE hopes to cement The Tribal Chief's place as the biggest heel in WWE and possibly in the industry, he would have to put away one of the biggest babyfaces of all time in the form of The Rock.
While Roman Reigns continues to run the show on SmackDown and contribute in a major way to WWE, he wouldn't appreciate The Rock deciding to return after all these years and possibly taking the Universal Title off of him.
A win over The Great One at The Grandest Stage of Them All would certainly cement Roman Reigns' place as the biggest villain in modern WWE.
