A dream match between the new Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and WWE Legend The Rock is said to be on the cards. For the past couple of years, fans have been speculating to see it in reality while the busy schedule of the Rock forced it to get nixed on numerous occasions. Now, this match has again been teased on Tuesday night’s episode of Young Rock on NBC.
The episode set in 1996 saw a young Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson begin training under his father, WWE Hall of Famer Rocky Johnson. At one point, Johnson was shown to be watching the 1996 Royal Rumble alongside his parents, grandmother, The Iron Shiek, and The Wild Samoans.
