WWE wanted to have Roman Reigns vs. The Rock take place at WrestleMania 39 for a while now.
WWE had been looking to get The Rock committed before the Royal Rumble because it would set things in motion for ‘Mania. However, earlier this month, it was reported that The Rock has indicated that he won’t have time to get into ring shape for the match.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Reigns addressed the rumors:
“There’s been a huge buzz on that for a long time now,” Reigns said. “But it’s really picked up in the last couple of years. I believe he just came out with a statement saying he’s not going to be ready in time, which that’s the kind of face everyone’s making, like, hold on, this guy trains every single day. He’s huge!”
“That’s number one, Dwayne,” Reigns added (H/T to F4Wonline.com). “When you’re going up against Roman Reigns, you better get ready to fall down.”
