Speculations about the Rock returning to WWE have intensified following Summer Slam after Elias called out the Rock in the next RAW event after Summer Slam. The Rock, who was once a mainstream star for the company, is now making it big in Hollywood but has never ruled out a return to the WWE ring. Recently, he admitted that he really wanted to return to the WWE ring in an interview with WWE's Kathy Kelley. While it remains unclear if the Rock's current busy schedule in Hollywood will make him available as full-time WWE Superstar, it is not unusual for WWE to make time for its top wrestlers to wrestle part-time if there is an extreme need to do so.

John Cena and Brock Lesnar are great examples of WWE's flexible booking policies for its top performers if the need arises. Lesnar, though remains one of the highest paid WWE athletes, his schedule with the company was flexible, requiring him to appear on WWE shows on fewer occasions and never more than necessary. The same goes for John Cena, whose desire to work in Hollywood has limited his time for wrestling. This means it will be likely for WWE to make time for the Rock should he decide to return and make him appear in fewer events and shows. Should that happen, these are the possible dream matches that many WWE fans will watch out for.

#3 The Rock vs Bobby Lashley

Though they are both great wrestlers, Bobby Lashley and the Rock have never faced off in a WWE ring. This is because they crossed paths in the business. The Rock exited the scene just before Lashley's came onto the scene.

However, both of them remain one of the finest of their generation. Lashley has made known his adulation of the Rock and his desire to face the rock in a WWE ring. Lashley is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the RAW brand. Should the Rock decide to come back to WWE, many fans would finally be happy to see him wrestle with Lashley in what promises to be a great feud.

#2 Roman Reigns

As part of the Anoa'i family, Roman Reigns is from a family with a long history of professional wrestlers. Famous members of the family include Umaga, Usos, and others. The Rock who comes from the Samoan family is considered a non-blood relative of the Anoa'i family through his mother. Their story would make a great feud for the entire WWE universe as it will transcend beyond WWE and delve into a battle for supremacy between two great wrestling families. Many fans have waited for this match for long.

The Rock is a legitimate star who can give Roman Reigns the necessary push he deserves to be recognized as the de facto face of the company. If the Rock returns, this should be a match on the cards.

#1 Braun Strowman

<p>

Braun Strowman's feud with the Rock will be the biggest dream match one can ever look out for should the Rock return to WWE.

Braun Strowman's rapid development as a wrestler has made him one of the most popular WWE Superstars currently in the business. WWE has done immense work to portray Strowman as a credible monster and fans have finally received him well as such. His trademark name, the Monster among men, has been etched into the memories of fans who now believe in his infallibility. As one of the current top performers, Strowman will benefit immensely from a match with the Rock and will further help him cement his push as the most feared wrestler on the roster should he defeat the Rock. WWE fans will also jump at a chance to see the Rock face off with Strowman and try to 'get these hands.' No doubt the biggest dream match.
