Dave Meltzer has reported that The Rock will NOT be wrestling Roman Reigns at this years WrestleMania but may still appear on the show in some capacity.


Dave notes that with the deadline to lock plans in approaching, Dwayne couldn’t guarantee he’d be available or be able to get himself into ring shape but hasn’t ruled out wrestling in the future.

I just want to see the rock in light hearted action comedy movies.

I have had no desire to see him in the ring since 2004. Didnt even care for the Cena feud.

Drop in, wave to the audience, drop a catchphrase and leave. No match.

Same with Austin.

So this means Roman remains champion for another year.
If true then why did they spoil Cody being in the Rumble? 🤔

I don't get why this rumor ever spurred to begin with.

Why would he possibly want to come back to job to Wankfist & Friends?

They spoiled Batista's return a week before the 2014 Royal Rumble, so it doesn't mean anything.

Publicity probably

They announced Edge a week before Royal Rumble 2021 and he won it

Thanks for that, Dave. But "plans can always change", right?

well, it was being teased from multiple angles. Roman was commenting on it. Heyman was commenting on it. The rock made some remarks. All of this amidst dirt sheet reports that this was trying to be facilitated.

And even from this report, it’s basically saying that this was the plan but wasn’t able to secure it. So there was pretty clearly something to those rumors.

What???? ROCK NOT WRESTLING AT MANIA...I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, HOW DOES MELTZER KNOW THESE THINGS?

Sure but people refer to anything and anyone in wrestling angles to inflate it, get heat or praise. Doesn't mean it rings true. I don't get why this ever got steam, as if Dwayne Johnson could give a toss to do a wrestling match in his busy acting schedule of 2-3 movies a year for a 2-3 month wrestling program.
WWE have been posting videos to YouTube featuring The Rock every hour for days now.

It's still more unlikely than likely that he'll actually wrestle but they're teasing the hell out of it so I'm going to wait and see rather than take note of Uncle Dave.

Its meltzer so this means nothing. Still, no idea why anybody thought rock was coming back.
They did setup Rock v Cena a year in advance. Just because Rock is being teased now doesn't mean he was wrestling.
Awesome can't wait for The Rock and Roman at this years Mania, thanks for the confirmation

Fucking hell. Wrestlemania is ruined

Losing both Roman vs rock
And Ronda vs Becky

Holy fuck. Going to be a B level ppv card that doesn't deserve to break attantendace record

Give the reign to Cody for whatever fucking reason. Even though Cody is the same age as Roman and will retire at same time as Roman. Great long term booking triple hgh. Give it to fucking breaker or threowy

You CANNOT keep the World title on Roman until WrestleMania 40. Fucking hell.

Unless the plan is for Cody to beat Roman at WrestleMania with some sort of Rock involvement/interference, setting up Rock vs. Roman at WrestleMania 40?
