Is Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson coming back to WWE for a highly-anticipated showdown with real-life cousin and fellow WWE mega-star Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39 in 2023?
“The Nature Boy” isn’t convinced it will happen.
Two-time WWE Hall of Fame legend Ric Flair sounded off on rumors of The Rock vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39 and how he isn’t convinced that Johnson will be returning to WWE for the show on “The Grandest Stage of Them All” during the latest episode of his “To Be The Man” podcast.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the show where he touches on this topic with his thoughts.
On why he doesn’t think The Rock will be back for WrestleMania 39: “I don’t think personally it’s a given that The Rock’s going to do it. I think, and as much as he might respect Roman, I’m sure they do all those guys, it’s brotherhood like no other. I don’t think The Rock would come back and do a favour, why would he? Tomorrow morning he goes back to his acting career with a loss?”
On how it would be silly for WWE to put the title on Rock when he’s not full-time: “I don’t think so. I don’t see that happening. And it would do the company no good to put the belt on The Rock because he’s not going to be a full time wrestler ever again. So I’ve said before, if The Rock happens, that’s great. If it doesn’t I would like to be Cody Rhodes.”
