American entertainment executive and performer Paul Heyman has commented on the possibility of a possible encounter between Roman Reigns and The Rock at WrestleMania 38. If his comments are to be believed, fans should not get their hopes up just yet.

While conversing with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport, Heyman revealed that the organisers were bound by time limitations and that it would not be possible for them to build a proper storyline. The possibility of Reigns continuing his storyline with Brock Lesnar is much higher.
Paul Heyman said, “This coming April? Not a chance. Number one, I would want to spend a lot more time on that storyline instead of bum-rushing it. For something that enormous? I’d want more time in it. Number two, I think Dwayne’s schedule for next year is in place and he’s not available, and even if he was, I don’t think it would be a bigger box office at the moment than, if you look at a trajectory right now, isn’t it Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns? Did [Crown Jewel] end the storyline or did it make it more compelling, more intriguing [to see the rematch]?

“Or Big E, Big E vs. somebody, or Drew McIntyre? I don’t know. I could certainly make the case to see Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre as well. Is there a time and a place for Roman Reigns vs. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson? Absolutely. Is Hollywood the place to do it? Seems like a natural place for The Rock to main event his final main event at WrestleMania, but I don’t think this coming April is the place for Roman Reigns for Dwayne Johnson.”
Fans are expecting Lesnar to make a return at the Royal Rumble to set a Reigns rematch at WrestleMania38. It will be interesting to see Lesnar back in action after being written off television due to his antics.
