WWE has no other way but to book Roman Reigns against massive legend at WrestleMania, says veteran, for major reason

Roman Reigns squared off against Cody Rhodes at WWE WrestleMania 39 and 40. A wrestling veteran suggested The Original Tribal Chief must now fight a massive legend at next year's Show of Shows.

Although The Rock returned earlier this year initially to challenge Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, plans changed following the backlash from fans. Instead, The Final Boss turned heel and joined The Bloodline. He then had a heated feud with Rhodes heading into the Show of Shows. While some expect The Rock to return to continue his rivalry with the Undisputed WWE Champion, wrestling veteran Magnum T.A. thinks the 52-year-old legend must fight his cousin at WrestleMania 41.

On the Straight Talk with The Boss podcast, Magnum T.A. claimed having The Rock going head-to-head against Roman Reigns at the upcoming WrestleMania would be the only way the company can follow the buildup to this year's show:

"To me, you know, that would be the only they can, to me, follow that crazy buildup they had to [this] year's WrestleMania is to spin it all the way back around and go back to the dance they wanted to start with but it be the script be completely flipped where Roman's the babyface and Rock is a clear heel, which they didn't ever think that was gonna happen. And it would go full circle that way. That would be just, that would be huge," he said. [From 13:32 to 14:05]

The Rock responded to rumors suggesting he might miss WWE WrestleMania 41

Earlier this month, The Rock returned at Bad Blood after nearly six months of absence following Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes' victory over The Bloodline's Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. He stood on the stage and made a cryptic, seemingly threatening, gesture to The Original Tribal Chief, The American Nightmare, and Jimmy Uso, who stood by their side inside the ring.

Nevertheless, reports later suggested The Final Boss might miss WrestleMania 41 due to his busy schedule. The Hollywood megastar responded to these rumors on Instagram, asking his fans not to believe them.

The Rock previously disclosed that he and WWE were planning the biggest match of all time at WrestleMania 41. It would be interesting to see if he will indeed finally go head-to-head with Roman Reigns.
