The Rock Says He Was Going To Wrestle Roman Reigns At WrestleMania 39 & Is Open To Working WrestleMania 40

“So The Rock headlining WrestleMania with Roman Reigns. Sofi Stadium, that was locked. What we were doing, the way we were doing it, we knew we were doing it. We were doing it. But let me just tell you, so about in the beginning of 2022, Nick Khan, who we know, he’s the man. He was very instrumental in bringing Vince and I together. We all flew to LA, we met, we sat. This is the beginning in 2022, and we broke out the Teramana. We toasted life, toasted the business we love, and about an hour later, we started talking about the potential of what this match could be between myself and Roman Reigns, headlining WrestleMania at So Fi, and we shook hands, and we hugged right there, all three of us at the table and said, ‘let’s do this.’”

“We can have the match, but the bigger thought was what can we do for the fans in this business that we love that will, where WrestleMania isn’t the end of something, it’s actually the beginning of something bigger. So we got really, really close, but we couldn’t actually nail what that thing was. So we decided to put our pencils down, and then we agreed, ‘Hey, listen, there’s a merger coming up. Eventually, that will happen. There’s WrestleMania in Philadelphia.’ I’m saying that’s a potential, too. So open. I’m open. But again, let’s figure out what that is because the fans deserve something just incredible and unprecedented.”
