If Roman Reigns steps into the ring with Dwayne Johnson at WrestleMania 39 Jim Cornette believes there can only be one winner.
A potential showdown between The Rock and Roman Reigns has been a topic speculation for months and it shows no sign of going away. Rock remains one of the most popular Superstars in WWE history and has previously refused to rule out getting back in the ring. This means that any potential appearance by The Great One is big news.
Dwayne Johnson To Pin Roman Reigns?
Looking ahead to the long rumoured match, Jim Cornette has claimed that the Hollywood megastar needs to be the one with his hand raised at the end of the night. During the conversation on his podcast, the Jim Cornette Experience, the manager turned podcaster also discussed how Cody Rhodes might also be involved.
“With Vince McMahon around, number one, ain’t no stars gonna be making any less appearances than they are right now. As long as Vince is around, even if he has to pay them, if he’s trying to sell this thing.
Number two, The Rock’s almost got to win. One would think, just because it’s going to be a downer if he doesn’t, but also he can’t have a title match because everybody [knows] he’s not going to come back and defend the title. It wouldn’t be about the title, it’d be about the mega status of the match. At the same time, Rock would want to put Roman Reigns over and at one point, I would think that would be the thing to do. But as you just said, If Roman’s not going to be full time, then maybe make people happy and Roman can go in the next night, somewhat vulnerable, whatever the f*ck.
But you know Cody is going to be there as much as he can be there. I think they’ve got to get some type of recognition on Cody. If they’re not going to blow the whole thing off with Roman. If Cody beats [Roman], they can still get mileage out of Cody and Roman rematches. So I don’t think that would be just Oh, he’ll drop it to Cody and you never see him again, he’s off doing sitcoms.”
It has been confirmed that Cody Rhodes will be returning to action at in 2023 men’s Royal Rumble Match following injury. This has led to fan rumour that Rhodes will be winning the match and heading for a World Title match at WrestleMania.
