The Rock returned to WWE last month and made a bold statement that he wanted a corporate champion, a champion that would work for him. The Final Boss has finally put that plan into motion at Elimination Chamber by choosing John Cena to be that very person. However, this is something that may not sit well with his cousin, Roman Reigns.

After what transpired, the Tribal Chief might decide to quit WWE. Well, he has a very good reason for that. After Reigns returned in August last year, he fought extremely hard to bring the Ula Fala back and restore the lost legacy of his family. However, The Rock choosing John Cena over him to dethrone Cody Rhodes was nothing less than a cold betrayal.

The OTC could view it as an act of treachery and why not? It seemingly shows that The Great One does not trust his own cousin to do that task. Roman Reigns could be reeling from the emotional fallout of what happened and decide to get himself out of this entire situation. With Rock and Cena taking over the place, Reigns could walk away from the company after WrestleMania 41.

The Tribal Chief could disappear from WWE for months, shifting his focus to other aspects which could very well be Hollywood. Roman Reigns could return to WWE just when The Final Boss' reign of terror would be at its peak, spearheaded by his corporate champion, Cena. He could come back to put an end to The Rock's tyranny and reclaim his rightful place.

Well, the storyline will certainly take a very interesting turn if that happens. However, the above-mentioned angle is nothing but speculation.

Roman Reigns' involvement in The Rock's storyline to pave the way for their blockbuster match?

Whenever The Rock returns to WWE, the one superstar that fans often associate him with is Roman Reigns. A clash between the two icons is long overdue. However, The Final Boss' recent storyline involving John Cena and Cody Rhodes has once again reignited that very desire among the fans.

Reigns is currently one of the biggest babyfaces in WWE. Therefore, the OTC getting involved in the mix would mean that he stands against The Rock and Cena. This could very well enrage his cousin and why not? It could create a massive divide between The Tribal Chief and The Great One.

Well, that could be the very spark required to reignite the dream match between the two Samoans in WWE. Roman Reigns' potential involvement in this storyline could sow the seeds of his blockbuster match with The Rock. And what could be a better stage to witness this monumental showdown than WrestleMania 42?

The highly-anticipated dream match could indeed turn into reality next year at The Grandest Stage of Them All in New Orleans. However, it could only happen if Reigns steps into the fray in the current storyline involving The Final Boss. It is all speculation at this point.
