Why The Rock vs Roman Reigns At WrestleMania 39 Is A Real Possibility
A dream match between The Rock and Roman Reigns could be in play for WWE WrestleMania 39. It's been Vince McMahon's working idea for the show's main event for months now, and as the occasion slowly comes into focus, so too is that possibility. With Reigns dominating WWE, both on Raw and SmackDown, perhaps only going one-on-one with The Great One could slow him down.

However, Hollywood has kept him busy, and insurance requirements while he's been actively filming have prevented The Rock from wrestling a real match since WrestleMania 29. John Cena pinned The Brahma Bull on that night in 2013, and outside of a one-off squash match with Erik Rowan in 2016, that's the last time he wrestled.

The Tribal Cheif could enter WrestleMania 39 with a championship reign lasting for over 900 days, as he's already over 600 with the Universal Championship. Even if creative figures out a way to get the WWE Championship off of him sometime shortly, there's no denying that
