If The Rock has one last match, who should it be against?

I would like to see Rock/HHH one last time. It was one of the defining feuds of the Attitude Era

I'd like to see The Rock vs Chris Jericho. The promos during their build-up would be good, and their match may have the potential to be decent.

Triple H.

Facing Brock would make bank but seeing Brock suplex Rock out the door just wouldn't be worth it. Even if Lesnar did more than just suplexes, I still would go with Triple H as Rock's final opponent.

I'm one of those guys that prefers a wrestler going out to his greatest rival or one of his greatest rivals, giving that person's final match more meaning, historically. I really don't care about somebody putting over a younger guy on his way out, it's not always a guarantee that it's gonna do wonders for the younger opponent (ex. Roman vs. Taker) and they could always find another way to get the younger guy over without him retiring a legend.

Not only do Rock and Triple H have the history and meaning but you could also build the match as an "End Of An Era". I know it's cliché at this point and they've already done that but the Attitude Era is so beloved, it might get some AE fans who stopped watching to tune in to watch that match and unlike Taker vs. Triple H, it truly would be an actual "End Of An Era" match as The Rock vs. Triple H was one of the defining feuds of the AE and The Rock was one of the top dogs in the AE along with Austin, so we say goodbye to one of the guys who ruled the Attitude Era. I feel they only added the "End Of An Era" title to Taker vs. Triple H to make it seem more special when it really wasn't though it obviously ended up being a hell of a match (no pun intended) but both guys continued wrestling after.

All Lesnar vs. Rock has going for it is just money but it doesn't have the same history and meaning as Triple H vs. Rock. Plus Rock's retirement alone would sell Rock vs. Triple H money-wise along with the "End Of An Era" thing.

But knowing Vince, he'll go with Roman as Rock's last ever opponent :reigns2

HHH

The parallels here are just too strong to go any other route.

Both started with crappy gimmick

Both came into their own in a stable

Both became leader of said stable

Feuded with each other in what felt like a race to see who reached the main event first

Both reached the top. Although Rocks peak was certainly higher

Both went onto become something no one ever dreamed of. Rock became the biggest name in all of entertainment and HHH is set to inherit the company.

Fitting match to end both of these guys careers.

This is why WWE is going down the toilet. Fans like you that have a hard-on for the old guys and can't let go of the past. Sure Flair Flop, let's have two old fucks hog a top spot on the card and make all the full timers look like shit. Neither HHH or Rock deserve another match, they both need to stay fuck off tv, it's 2017 dude, not 2000.

Nobody outside the "WWE Universe" (around 3 million all told) gives a shit about the Rock wrestling anymore.
If people want to be entertained by The Rock, they won't tune in to a lame ass 3-hour show, much less will they wait months and pay 10 bucks to tune into a lame ass 5-hour show, they will just go out, connect with real life, and watch Baywatch.

Wanted to see the Brock match 4 years ago, but it didn't happen and I haven't been interested in seeing it since.

The Marahaja Jinder Mahal. At some point he morphs into a Samoan after admitting he's not from India. Triple threat between Roman, Rock, and Jinder in a Battle of Smoa match.

I didn't think of that, but I love it!

But a year after Roman beats Rock, so Ambrose beating Roman would be a better catalyst for their feud.

Rock vs Cena would make a great deal of sense due to it being the decider.

But Rock vs Reigns would be the big match to see off the people's champ.
This would be a fun way to do it:

2018: Roman vs Brock (The Rock interferes?!)

2019: The Rock vs Roman Reigns (Roman the winner)

2020: The Rock vs John Cena III (Cena wins the feud, retiring the Rock)

2021: Roman Reigns vs John Cena (after Cena retired Rock, Roman retired Undertaker, and both have beaten the Rock).

2022: Only then do we finally get a conclusion to Roman vs Brock lol.

2023: CM Punk comes back and whinges about Roman headlining 9 Wrestlemanias in a row, so Roman Reigns vs CM Punk headlines and Roman squashes him to headline 10 in a row.
