I think he should face Brock it would be a great match and draw plus Paul Heymen vs Dwayne on the mic would be gold

Who would you like to see Dwayne face ?

No One. He has give enough for WWE for what he got from them. He is kind of enabling WWE indirectly now by coming over now and then as a quickfix and not letting them build legitimate drawing stars.

If he must, let him come into an actual 3-6 months feud making a star for them culminating at Mania.

I personally prefer to watch him kick butts in the movies than in the ring with someone who do not have much use for the rub.

Dwayne should face:

Lesnar in the main event of WM 32 to settle the score from 2002
Danielson in the main event of WM 33 to end the Vanilla Midget Yes movement
Bautista in the main event of WM 34 to avenge his cousin Edward Smith Fatu's loss at WM 24
Leati in the main event of WM 35 to pass another torch

EDIT: Cena in the main event of WM 36 to win the feud 2-1

For Gods sake guys saying Haitch or Lesnar, go for something new! Lesnar doesn't need The Rock and this feud would only underwhelm, yeesh if you want it that bad, get the network, go watch Summerslam 2002. Also you know Haitch would be desperate to get dat pin on The Rock, out of jealousy that despite getting the hulk hogan push he couldn't come close to being the draw that Rock was.

My pick, Heel Reigns, Bray Wyatt, Kevin Owens, Heel Ambrose or Rollins. Wouldn't mind seeing a heel/tweener run if one of those guys could shape up as a huge face, but with the exception of Bryan (who they just cannot waste a Rock match on) no-one is drawing as an out and out babyface really

Triple H.


The two have the biggest rivalry dating all the way back to when The Rock was leader of the Nation and Trips was the leader of DX.


I want revenge for that SummerSlam '98 loss Rock took.

Even before that, lol. Rocky Maivia defeated HHH for his first ever title(IC) win in early 97.

Anyway, fuck the haters, Rock vs HHH is the highest "cable ratings" drawing rivalry ever, and one of the biggest when it comes to PPV buys. They have so much history together, that if WWE book this feud well, it can be an awesome end to this storied rivalry.

Wouldn't be opposed to Rock vs HHH but shouldn't Rock be used to put a younger talent over? ROck would obviously be the face so the opponent would have to be heel.

Even though Brock would make sense & be awesome, I preferably would like him to face someone he has not yet stepped in to the ring with. Even though i am not a hug fan of his a victory/feud with The Rock is something Reigns could do with, flip him heel for it and see how he goes.

Where are the old school Attitude Era fans at? We know there's nobody else worthy to face Rock 1 on 1 in a end-all be-all match than Triple H. Those two were the polar opposite rivals. (Rivals I wish WWE continued for new talent when they had Shelton Benjamin vs Randy Orton but WWE blew it)

Some you guys, I can't. :justsayin

Sting?


Daniel Bryan?


Brock Lesnar?


Dean Ambrose?


Roman Reigns?


Miz?


Cena?




IF they want to make an end to the story of HHH vs ROck, they need to book HHH vs Rock at WrestleMania.


NOw if they want to fuck Rock over and bury him. Lets say WWE and Rock wasn't in bed together like they have been for decades now. I'd say put Rock vs Bray Wyatt.

Start it off with Rock messing with Bo Dallas which gets Bray Wyatt's attention, Bray abandons his scheme against Roman Reigns and goes after his Samoan uncle Rock.

Roman Reigns in the midcard with No Championship on the line.

They pretty much have to go with HHH vs The Rock at WM32, and I think it's the right thing to do. It won't sell like Rock vs Brock or Rock vs HBK but it needs to happen, too many people want to see this rivalry come full circle.

I think its pretty much a given if Rock wrestles at Mania it will be vs Triple H. And if he faces anyone else he would be giving a rub and doing the job to his "cousin" Roman Reigns (Maivia is not actually blood related to "The Samoan" family") . Either way Rock is going to do what Rock wants to do and he certainly isnt going to come in to do a job.
