Roman Reigns to face 12-time WWE champion in a dream match at WrestleMania 41? It's not The Rock or Cody Rhodes!

Roman Reigns wrestled his first match since WrestleMania 40 at Bad Blood 2024, where he emerged victorious in a tag team match. As WWE is just six months away from WrestleMania 41, the speculation around The OTC's potential opponent at The Show of Shows is at its peak. The most suggested opponents for him are The Rock or Cody Rhodes. However, another intriguing option is Stone Cold Steve Austin.

While Roman Reigns is rumored to face The Rock at WrestleMania 41, a recent report has claimed that The Final Boss might not compete in Las Vegas next year despite his recent return. Cody Rhodes is the second favorite. However, The American Nightmare seems to be on a different path, which could lead to his much-awaited bout against Randy Orton on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Hence, the Triple H-led creative team could book a dream match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Roman Reigns to build a massive box office buzz. The Texas Rattlesnake is a six-time WWE Champion, a two-time Intercontinental Champion, and a four-time Tag Team Champion.

Austin is seemingly in good shape, as he regularly shares shredded pictures on Instagram. The veteran made a shocking in-ring return at WrestleMania 38, where he locked horns with Kevin Owens in a No Holds Barred Match.

In a recent interview on Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez, the 59-year-old expressed his desire to be at WrestleMania 41. Roman Reigns could be the best match-up for him if The Final Boss and The American Nightmare are unavailable.

Last time, when The Texas Rattlesnake performed in-ring duties, fans were impressed with his performance. It looks like he has not stopped training and is still preparing for the next big bout. An encounter between Roman Reigns and Stone Cold would be an epic battle of giants and could create history. However, the angle is speculative at this point.
