Vince Russo believes WWE will disappoint fans if they don't book Roman Reigns vs. The Rock

Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently spoke about a potential Roman Reigns vs. The Rock match at WrestleMania 40 next year.

Before his recent surprise appearance in WWE, The Rock revealed that there were plans for a match between him and Reigns at WrestleMania 39. However, the high-profile bout was ultimately scrapped, and the creative team went ahead with Cody Rhodes as The Tribal Chief's challenger.

On Sportskeeda Wrestling's Writing with Russo, the wrestling veteran claimed that if WWE failed to deliver a match between Reigns and The Rock, fans would surely ft disappointed. Russo said:

"They have kinda teased it [Reigns vs. The Rock] now, and they have put it in everybody's mind. So I don't know how you don't do it and it not being a disappointment. You kind of planted that seed now, and it's not going to be that and Reigns and Cody?"

Reigns is expected to defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Title against LA Knight at the upcoming Crown Jewel premium live event on November 4, 2023. Following their confrontation on SmackDown, Knight even hit the BFT on The Tribal Chief at a Live event.

Reigns' last title defense was at SummerSlam in August when he defeated Jey Uso in a Tribal Combat match.
