Dwayne Johnson rumored to star in WrestleMania’s main event
One of the biggest rumors that recently garnered heat in the world of wrestling was the return ofDwayne JohnsoninWrestleMania 39, who would be going against Roman Reigns in its main event. Even though the actor has limited his WWE appearances since his loss against John Cena at WrestleMania 29, considering the recent failure ofBlack Adam, it’s reasonable to assume that The Rock would return for some glory in the WWE arena.
But there have been some skepticisms around the rumored main event of The Rock vs Roman Reigns, as according to reports Johnson isn’t in the condition to return for a 40-minute match. Another factor that undermines this ambitious match is the recent win of Cody Rhodes inRoyal Rumble,who is now assigned to star in the main event ofWrestleMania.
And amidst all the speculations circulating over the internet, Roman Reigns shared his viewpoint on the rumor. The WWE champion went on to spread some light on the possibility of this match.

Although Cody Rhodes is initially booked to star in theWrestleManiamain event, there’s still hope for Johnson’s big return, as WWE is no new to changing their plans to meet the best outcome.
