When we think of Roman Reigns in 2023, we think of a wrestler who had his redemption after going through moments of great difficulty in WWE, where the public was not willing to support him, then changing his mind when he went to join Paul during the pandemic Heyman becoming a masterful heel.
Obviously, having at the moment both the WWE belt and that of Universal champion at his waist, there is a lot of interest around his figure, because everyone is wondering who he could go to challenge at Wrestlemania 39 and among the many names they had recently come out those of Cody Rhodes, Steve Austin and especially The Rock.
Just about The Rock spoke in his appearance on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, when the presenter asked him about a potential clash between the two at the Showcase of the Immortals: “These are the rumors circulating, there was a huge buzzed for a long time, I mean for years, but the whole thing picked up in the last couple of years.
I think he just released a statement saying he won't be ready in time. 'Wait, he trains every single day. It is huge.' But in his defense, it's one thing to train with weights and bodybuilding, but to be able to get in the ring and have a main event match, a title match, an Undisputed WWE Championship match, it takes a lot.
preparation for conditioning, training in the weight room is not enough. It does two of three things perfectly. His nutrition and weight training are fine, but he needs to train his conditioning. You have to be ready to fall."
Roman Reigns opens up on The Rock
Going forward in the interview, Roman Reigns was asked who else could potentially go and challenge him for a title match of the wrestlers currently present in WWE: “We have so many things to do.
Right now, we have Sami Zayn who is in the mix. He is within my Bloodline. We have another guy named Cody Rhodes who is coming back from injury." While Roman Reigns waits to find out who will challenge him at the most important event of the year, tonight January 28, 2023 he is called to defend the title of Undisputed Champion against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble event.
Triple H recently shed light on The Rock’s WWE return status. “So I know for him, and I know his family and background and everything.. if he could be here for WrestleMania in Hollywood, he would turn over every stone and walk through fire to be able to do it… But I don’t think it’s just in the cards”.
