"It's finally happening": Dwayne Johnson Challenges His Cousin Roman Reigns on WWE RAW

SUMMARY

Recently appearing at ‘WWE Monday Night Raw Day 1;, Dwayne Johnson teased his dream match against cousin, Roman Reigns.

He asked fans if he should sit at the “Head of the Table” when he goes to get something to eat later that night.

Although this was only him teasing about probably the most-awaited match of the century, fans are already going crazy just at the thought of their dream match taking place for real.

Dwayne Johnson has long been an electrifying force in the wrestling industry, and his match with real-life cousin brother, Leati Joseph Anoaʻi, aka Roman Reigns, has been one of the most anticipated ones since forever.

Previously their match was confirmed for WrestleMania 39, but for some unfortunate reasons, it didn’t end up happening, and fans have been desperately awaiting news that will finally confirm their dream match ever since.

Recently gracing his surprising presence at WWE Monday Night Raw Day 1, Dwayne Johnson once again won the hearts of his fans as he stepped into the ring the same way he did four months ago in September 2023 while appearing at SmackDown.

But what was even more satisfying than his electrifying appearance was him teasing his forever-anticipated dream match with his real-life cousin, Roman Reigns. He did this by asking the audience (via @WWE | X):
“When The Rock goes out to get something to eat tonight in San Diego, should The Rock sit in a booth? Or, should The Rock sit at the bar? [Laughs] Yeah, The Rock wants the bar too. Or, should The Rock sit at the Head of The Table?”
For those who don’t know, Reigns is long renowned for calling himself the “Head of the Table.” Thus, it was thoroughly evident that this jab was at none other than the People’s Champ’s cousin.

As the crowd went wild with his last comment, he further added to the teasing by closing with his signature line that the audience echoed after he claimed, “I love you too, San Diego.”:
“That’s what I thought: if you smell what The Rock is cooking?!”

While nothing has been confirmed as of yet, if what Dwayne Johnson said is indeed true, then the match between him and Roman Reigns just might take place at WrestleMania 40, fulfilling fans’ wishes much sooner than expected.
