The Rock leaning towards wrestling at WrestleMania 35?

According to Ticket Drew, who is a lesser known but apparently pretty reliable source.

I'm kinda torn on this. Rock is still a big draw and deserves an actual retirement. How strange would it be if his last match was actually against Erick Rowan? However I'm not sure he can still go. He looked fine against Cena, but that was 5 years ago. He also got injured during that match and delayed filming for one of his movies.

Would you like to see The Rock wrestle one more match? If so, who should be his opponent?

[Y 2 Jake]

I would but it'd be against Triple H. We've seen how well HHH has done at Mania when his intention is to get somebody over to the best of his ability, but he usually stumbles when he tries to have have an epic match. That's exactly what I think would happen if he faced The Rock. I just don't see anybody else getting the match.

Except Reigns. So let's not get too excited.

[Jack-Hammer]

Can't say I give a damn. I have no interest in Rock vs. Triple H or Roman Reigns or Bobby Lashley or Brock Lesnar or any of the other corporate picks that wound wind up getting the match. On the slimmest of chances that such a match would feature him against someone like Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Finn Balor or one of the other workhorses of the company, I also wouldn't especially feel like seeing them be made to look like chumps who should be carrying Dwayne's bags rather than be in a match against him, which is most likely what would wind up happening.

Dwayne, you're the biggest movie star in the world right now so just fuck off already.

The Rock is fun. I like having fun. Remember when wrestling was fun?

Anyways yeah I don't like the idea of Rock's last match being a six-second squash on Rowan in what was really a segment. And I'd take Roman Reigns facing him if it means not having him headline the fifth Wrestlemania in a row. Seems to be a more feasible plot between them than there'd be against Triple H anyways.

I don't know why. But I want Rock Vs. Roman Reigns. Especially the promo battle before the match at Wrestlemania. 6 weeks of build. Multiple promo battles.

Oof, that won't do Reigns any favours. Cena could almost keep up with The Rock on the mic, and we all know how Cena treated Reigns in their promo battles. Roman would get obliterated, so long as the People's Cousin doesn't hold back.

In short, I'm all in for this.

Rock doesn't hold back much on insults. Roman's disgusted face is pure magic. It fits like a glove.

I just wanna see if he takes it as a challenge and steps up.

[Stone Cold Tea]

The idea of The Rock and Reigns feuding for 6 weeks only to have The Rock raise Romans hand on stage as the fireworks goes off makes me sick.

If anything it'll be The Rock vs Lesnar. No way Vince leaves that kind of money on the table if he can get The Rock back, especially if Lesnar wins the UFC Heavyweight Title. Biggest movie star in the world Vs the UFC champion in New York at 'Mania 35. Money.

[SSJPhenom]

Rock vs Lesnar would print money. Especially if Lesnar is UFC champ. Also, could you imagine the promos between Heyman and the Rock? Pure gold.

Book it.

Lets face it, The Rock is arguably the biggest name in all of pop culture right now, there's no way he's losing a wrestling match. Therefore he cannot wrestle Roman Reigns, since Reigns won't lose back-to-back WrestleMania's. Let Roman get his win next year against someone like Rollins or Ambrose (preferably both).

As such, I think the best fit would be an upper midcard guy who gets a rub from wrestling The Rock (but doesn't take a hit by losing to The Peoples Champ), or a legend who can lose and it doesn't matter. As such, there's a few names that can step into that role without fail, a few of which have had past interactions with The Rock.



The Miz: Sure, Rock helped him pin John Cena at Mania 27, but he ate a few Rock Bottoms along the way, including after the fight. Surely that doesn't sit well with the A-Lister. After losing to The Rock, The Miz can just open his mouth again and all his heat is right back.
Rusev: The Rock made a surprise appearance one night on RAW and went after Rusev/Lana. He got the upper hand on the Bulgarian Brute and Ravishing Russian, so they would want to get a crack at it.
Elias: The promo's (concerts?) will make this amazing, and Elias won't even lose his heat because he strums his guitar the next day and they have/love him again.
John Cena: They're 1-1. Lets settle this with a rubber match. It would also make The Rock the only person to Main Event 3 different Mania's with the same person twice. Rock wins because he's The Rock, and Cena would let him go over, and they both go away again, Rock for good, Cena until he feels like coming back again and he's right at the top because he's John Cena.
Undertaker: They wrestled in the past, and even an old Rock can get a Taker match that the fans would be interested in. Taker can go out losing to the greatest of all time, and they both can ride off into the sunset together, awaiting a future Hall of Fame induction.

Please let it be anyone other than Reigns, Cena, Brock or HHH.

I won't stand yet another Roman Reigns main event. We've seen Cena. Brock would have been nice before the whole suplex city thing and plus there's no point in Brock or Rock going over in that match nobody gains anything. HHH is kind-ish nice and HHH maybe needs a Wrestlemania victory after losing at 34, 33, 32.

But I find a lot more interest in feuds against Rollins, Styles, Bryan and The Miz.
