Universal Champion Roman Reigns was a guest on ESPN First Take recently to promote the upcoming "season premiere" of SmackDown (the first episode after the WWE Draft). The plan is for The Big Dog to defend his title against Braun Strowman on the show, and that should be a killer match even if the outcome is predictable.
Asked for his thoughts on Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's recent comments that he would be open to facing Reigns at a future WrestleMania, his real-life cousin made it clear that the idea interests him.
"It would be amazing. For any Superstar of my generation to have someone on his level, someone that has done so much not only in sports entertainment but the movie industry and entertainment in general," he said. "The man has like a billion followers online and stuff so to be able to put that type of spotlight on our current generation and what we do within our product in WWE, that would be amazing."
"Just to share the ring with him, I’m really enjoying what I’m doing now being able to share the ring with my cousin Jey Uso and to be able to tell that story about our family business and the lineage and history and where we come from and representing our family is pretty cool so," Reigns continued. "To just continue it and take it to the next level, that’s what I’m trying to do every single time."
Time will tell whether this becomes a reality, but with Johnson's busy Hollywood schedule, and the fact WWE shows are unlikely to take place in front of fans for the foreseeable future, the clock could be ticking on this one.
Would this be a dream match for you guys?
