Paul Heyman: The Rock Is One Of Many Crossover Stars Wanting To Face Roman Reigns At WrestleMania
Roman Reigns is currently scheduled to face Edge at WrestleMania 37, but Paul Heyman would have you believe that there are plenty of options on the table for the “Tribal Chief.”
About between Reigns and The Rock at WrestleMania has been much discussed, and while it won’t be in the card in 2021, could happen in a future WrestleMania. According to Heyman, The Rock isn’t the only sports and entertainment star chomping at the bit to step into the ring with Reigns.
“If I could show you one day’s worth of text messages, emails and calls that come into my phone from some of the biggest superstars in sports and entertainment on this planet, it would blow your mind. Crossover celebrities in their prime would love to step into a WrestleMania ring with Roman Reigns. It’s not just Dwayne Johnson. The Rock is just one of many,” Heyman told Give Me Sport. “Top stars in many sports are yearning for the publicity, the notoriety, fame, legacy and money of main eventing WrestleMania with Roman Reigns. It would sound like I’m bragging and I don’t feel the need to embellish the reputation that Roman Reigns is building at this moment with his groundbreaking performances every single week. It would just be me name-dropping and from my perspective, there’s not a name I can deliver to you that’s as impressive as the central character in WWE’s modern-day presentation – Roman Reigns. He’s the star. He’s the be-all and end-all. He’s the attraction for WrestleMania. Roman Reigns vs fill in the blank.”
Before Reigns can officially defend his WWE Universal Title against Edge at WrestleMania, he must get by Daniel Bryan at WWE Fastlane.
