Roman Reigns is simply residing on another planet since his return to the WWE in the summer of 2020. He’s enjoyed more than two years as the Universal Champion while he’s also enjoyed his time as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion for the past several months. It was at Wrestlemania 38 that he earned that tag by defeating Brock Lesnar in a title vs. title matchup.
Roman Reigns has been unpinned or unsubmitted for the last two years and the main reason behind this is a future dream match against his cousin The Rock. For a very long time now, fans have been clamoring to make this match a reality and there’s a real chance of seeing it happening at WrestleMania 39 aka Wrestlemania Hollywood in Inglewood, California.

Betting odds out for Reigns vs. Rock at Wrestlemania
The popular belief is that the showdown between the two of them may turn out to be the greatest match of Wrestlemania history but there’s a long way to travel before we reach that point. Roman Reigns has even called out The Rock during a WWE live event and spoke about the match in recent interviews which is a positive indication, however.
According to the reports of BetOnline, betting odds for the potential The Great One vs. The Tribal Chief is out and the latter one is the favorite to win that match,

WWE’s plans also call for a victory for Roman Reigns
Previous reports suggested that Vince McMahon had already sketched out a plan for this match before heading into retirement. According to Wrestling News, Triple H is sticking with those original plans sketched by his predecessor, heading into WrestleMania 39. It’s likely that in that dream bout, The Rock will come up short against his cousin,
“Someone familiar with the creative process told that nothing has changed (in regards to Roman Reigns) and there are still no plans for him to lose the Title this year.
When Reigns turned heel in 2020, the plan at the time was for him to be the champion when he eventually wrestled The Rock, and Vince McMahon wanted Reigns to retain the Title and the idea was, and still is, for Reigns to become a top babyface.”
In recent times, WWE has dropped several hints the mega match is happening. However, we have to wait for the confirmation, after all. The good thing is that The Rock is a virtual lock for the Show of Shows given his Hollywood schedule is light for that timespan.
