#2. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson could return at the WWE Royal Rumble to face Roman Reigns later

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has praised Roman Reigns’ performance in WWE on several occasions. Fans have also been waiting for The Rock to return to WWE and teach his cousin a lesson.

The Rock recently denied reports that he was ready to return at WrestleMania 38. But after Lesnar's shocking win at Day 1, all plans may have been thrown wide open.

WWE can now approach The Rock to return at the Royal Rumble. The People's Champ is not keen on taking on Reigns as he said in an interview with Dish Nation. But never say never!

“I can tell you that there is no truth to that right now. Possibly down the road, we will see. We stay very close, myself and Roman Reigns. I’m very happy, very proud for the work that he’s doing, as well as The Usos, my other family members. Those guys will continue to do what they’re doing, and we’ll see down the road,” Johnson said.

The Rock could enter the Royal Rumble at Number 30, win the match, and set up a blockbuster between himself and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 38.

Not many matches can top a clash between Reigns and Lesnar. However, The Rock’s return could overshadow every other rivalry in WWE.
