Update About Roman Reigns Rumored Opponents Status At WrestleMania 39
Previously, there were rumors surrounded around the internet that WWE considering either The Rock or Stone Cold Steve Austin against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. However, a recent update on their status for the event has been provided. Stone Cold came out of retirement last year to defeat Kevin Owens at WrestleMania, while The Rock last wrestled in 2016 against Erick Rowan in a quick match.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, Stone Cold was offered a match against Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 39 but declined the offer.
“Steve might be at the show. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised at all. He might do something on the show, but he did in fact turn down wrestling at the show. He was offered Lesnar, he was offered Roman Reigns probably could have named his opponent if he wanted to do it with anybody else, but he did not choose to wrestle on the show.”
It was also reported that The Rock also won’t be wrestling at the event and WWE has already moved on with Cody Rhodes winning the Royal Rumble.
“The same goes for Dwayne. Dwayne could be there in some form or fashion. I mean, there are people going like, ‘Oh, don’t you think it’s a swerve?’ They keep saying it’s not a swerve. I’ve been told this for a while. Of course, there’s always the idea that maybe it’s a secret, like the Pat McAfee thing, but we’re past that point. Cody won the Royal Rumble. He’s getting championship match. It ain’t gonna be Dwayne anymore and Dwayne’s not wrestling anybody else on this show unless it’s a 3-second match. He could do an angle if he wants to, but he did not feel like he had the time. He did not feel that he had the time to get in the shape that he needed to be in to do a WrestleMania-caliber main event.”
