From last year, WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns started to claim himself as the “Tribal Chief.” Since then, fans have wanted to see WWE icon and Reigns’ cousin Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson come back to WWE and teach Reigns a lesson.
As WWE has not confirmed or denied anything, the rumors of The Rock’s return have been coming up frequently since last year. Now that, fellow WWE icon and Hollywood Superstar, John Cena has come back to WWE, ‘The Great One‘ also might not be so far behind.
Various reports stated that WWE will be arranging a showdown between both the Samoan athletes next year at WrestleMania 38 in Dallas. However, according to Andrew Zarian, the rivalry will begin from this year’s Survivor Series.
