Backstage News On Creative Plans For The Rock vs. Roman Reigns

The Rock made his big return to WWE during the special Day 1 episode of Monday Night Raw this week and he shook the wrestling world to its core when he teased a match with Roman Reigns. A potential Reigns vs. Rock match has been rumored for years now and it seems that WWE planted the seeds some time ago.

The Great One got fans talking on Monday night when he asked the audience in San Diego if he should sit at the Head of the Table. Roman Reigns has been calling himself the Head of the Table and The Tribal Chief since 2020, and Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that the names were always meant to be used to build up a potential match with The Rock.

“That whole thing, ‘The Head of the Table’ and all that, and ‘Tribal Chief,’ was all done originally to build up the Roman Reigns-Rock match.”

“I remember they were gonna do the Dallas show [WrestleMania 38] and then it was gonna be Los Angeles [WrestleMania 39]. He turned down the first one to do the second one, which would have been Los Angeles. Then Los Angeles ended up being canceled, kind of in December, I think.”

A few months ago The Rock did confirm that he was in talks with WWE to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39, but ultimately it didn’t work out. Now it looks like the dream match may finally become a reality.
