The Rock On Facing Roman Reigns At WrestleMania: “There’s A Chance”

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was recently a guest on ESPN’s First Take, where he discussed a number of topics. Among them were facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, what he would like to see from WWE globally, the merger of the XFL and USFL, and more.

Below are some highlights from the interview:

The Rock on facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania:

“I’m a long gamer. I like to build. Something like this, what this is. If, myself and Roman Reigns, were to main event WrestleMania, and I mean this very respectfully of all the WrestleManias prior because I grew up in this business and I love it. We could possibly put on, with us as the main event and this incredible group of men and women, we could possibly put on the greatest and biggest WrestleMania of all time.”

 “There’s a chance. I love this business. I love pro wrestling. I love WWE. I also have this deep passion to grow it and build it. If we’re going to do something like this, I want the world to watch.”

On what The Rock would like to see WWE do globally:

Just to clarify, WWE is a global brand, and they do very, very well. I’m very proud of them, and back when I was wrestling full-time, we were doing our best to open up these territories all around the world, and they continue to do so. But if that is a goal and they continue to do that, let’s reach for more. Let’s reach for more people who maybe necessarily don’t watch the product. But let’s bring them in week by week…compelling storylines leading up to WrestleMania or the next WrestleMania or whatever. It is so my thought; my goal with the WWE is to continue to build out the brand and to continue to anchor it as the worldwide leader in sports and entertainment joy.

They also talk about joining the TKO Board of Directors, the merger of the XFL/USFL, and more.
