Dwayne Johnson last wrestled a match at WrestleMania 32 against Erick Rowan. He won in six seconds and set a WrestleMania record. Post that, Dwayne has made some sporadic appearances on the WWE weekly TV shows, most notably on SmackDown in 2019, where he shared the ring with Corbin and Becky Lynch.

Since Roman Reigns returned and became ‘The Tribal Chief’, WWE has frequently teased The Rock’s return as ‘The Head of the Table’s next opponent. Moreover, Dwayne Johnson has also called his potential match with Roman a blockbuster, claiming that he is also interested in a WWE return.

In the recent episode of Young Rock, there was a scene that saw Dwayne planting the seed for his match against Roman Reigns. The scene had a young Roman Reigns asking Dwayne to wrestle him while the family was watching a WWE match featuring WWE legend Yokozuna.

Musician Ethan Cramer, who is a fan of the show, shared the video on his official Twitter account. Alongside, he also wrote, “@WrestlingInc On #YoungRock episode tonight, there was a segment with a young Joe (Roman Reigns) asking Dewey (The Rock) to wrestle & give him a Samoan Drop. Dewey said “No, the worlds not ready, a match that big can only happen at #WrestleMania”  planting the seeds. @RajGiri_303”

Dwayne even said that the world is not ready for a match that big unless it’s at WrestleMania. In response, the young Reigns said, “Acknowledge Me.”
