WrestleMania 40 was a massive spectacle and Roman Reigns got to main event both nights of the event. During night one he teamed with The Rock to defeat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, and he went on to drop his Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes the next night in a singles match.
On the road to WrestleMania 40 there was a lot of discussion regarding how things would play out as it was rumored that WWE wanted to book Rock vs. Reigns before ultimately deciding on a rematch between Cody and Roman.
Even though the big Rock vs. Reigns dream match didn’t take place this year at WrestleMania it doesn’t sound like it’s off the table. During a recent appearance on the SI Media podcast Roman Reigns told Jimmy Traina that if the match is something the fans want then he’s sure it will happen.
“I think our fan base and the company has proven that if our fans are loud enough and passionate enough about something [then it’ll happen]. We’re a company, we’re not being dictated to, and of course we have a vision for where we’re trying to go.
But we know who the consumers are, we know who’s paying their hard-earned money and we want to satisfy those people. But we have to do it in a regard that’s going to attract more eyes and bring more people in. Dwayne’s always going to be in that role. He’s always going to be a guy that just magnetizes and makes the broadcast even bigger. So if that’s the case and that the people want it.
But that’s what’s cool, we’ve had such a strong set of talent in our roster. Who would have thought that Cody could have had so much admiration that it could have broke up the plans of Tribal Chief vs. The People’s Champion?
That in its own right is pretty outstanding. It’s amazing. So I think that just kind of goes back to yeah, there’s a lot of meat on the bone and if Dwayne can’t come in and just boom this is how it is brother, then that’s when you know you’re cooking up with some really good ingredients. I think that’s why he is tied in the way he is.
That’s why he’s a part of the board and a part of everything the way he is. Because we’re at an unprecedented time right now. Business is great and we just want to continue to push things up. So if that’s what the people want, and The People’s Champ is down, I’m sure we can make something happen.”
Roman Reigns also opened up about whether or not he was disappointed that he didn’t get to face The Rock at WrestleMania this year, and you can get more on that here.
