According to the Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there is uncertainty over The Rock and Roman Reigns match. It’s also noted that there were backup plans for Cody Rhodes to face Roman Reigns if Rock doesn’t return, plans are still mired in uncertainty.
”Regarding WrestleMania, Paul Levesque has made a decision on the Roman Reigns direction for WrestleMania in the event it is not Dwayne Johnson, which is a very real possibility. I don’t know that direction although Cody Rhodes would be the betting line favorite for those on the outside right now. So it’s not like there are multiple ideas for that match, only maybe two, Johnson and whoever the other plan would be with,” said Meltzer.
