Passionate about sport, cinema and television (on screen and behind) since his childhood, Bernard has been a journalist for 10 Sport since 2018. More skilled with the keyboard in hand than with the ball on his feet, he decides to mainly cover a beloved sport, criticized and hated at the same time (football) and a sport that is not one (wrestling).
The year 2025 could see a legendary clash brewing in WWE, with the prospect of a match between Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Roman Reigns. Recently asked about such a duel, initially imagined for WrestleMania XL, the former undisputed champion was open to the idea, emphasizing the major role that fans could play in the decision.
The year 2024 at the WWE was notably marked by the return of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to the programs of the queen wrestling organization, with major involvement in the rivalry between Roman Reigns et Cody Rhodes and his participation in a match during WrestleMania XL in April. A return to the sources which will not stop there for The Rockappeared briefly at the end of the show’Bad Blood‘ last October 5 and whose presence at the next WrestleMania seems very likely. He could then face his cousin Roman Reignsposter already imagined by the WWE.
“We know who is spending their hard-earned money and we want to satisfy them”
The clash between the two men had in fact been planned by the WWE at the beginning of the year, after hearing of the availability of The Rock. However, fan discontent forced the company to reverse its plans, and thus let Cody Rhodeswinner of Royal Rumblesettle accounts with Roman Reigns. The latter says he is still open to the idea of confronting the Hollywood star at the microphone of Sports Illustrated.
« I think our community and the company have proven that if our fans are loud and passionate enough about something, then it will happen.he believes, in reference to what happened to WrestleMania XL. We are a company, nothing is dictated to us, and of course we have a vision of what we want to do. But we know who the consumers are, we know who is spending their hard-earned money and we want to satisfy them. But we need to do it in a way that will get more eyes and more people. Dwayne will always play this role. He will always be the guy who magnetizes and makes the audience even bigger. So if that’s the case and people want it…. »
“I’m sure we can do something.”
« That’s what’s cool, we have such a strong set of talent on our roster. Who would have thought that Cody could have such popularity that he would upset the plans of Tribal Chief vs. The People’s Champion? In itself, this is quite exceptional. It’s incredible. I think it comes down to saying there’s a lot of material and if Dwayne can’t come in and say “this is how it’s done”, then that’s when you know you’re cooking with really good ingredients. I think that’s why he’s involved the way he is. That’s why he’s on the board and everything else. Because we are in unprecedented times right now. Business is good and we just want to keep things moving forward. So if that’s what the people want, and if The People’s Champ is up for it, I’m sure we can do something », continues Roman Reigns. The door is open…
