The Rock Pledges to ‘Do Things That Have Never Been Done Before in WWE’ as a Potential Match with Roman Reigns Looms

Earlier this month, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson uploaded a video outlining his return to the professional wrestling organization, vowing to “do things that have never been done before in WWE.”

The Rock made an appearance on the first day of “Monday Night Raw” at the start of the year. After confronting a returning Jinder Mahal, he laid the smackdown and created the first hints of what would turn out to be a bout between Roman Reigns and the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion.

He edited a video on Wednesday that served as a review of the evening.

These ‘electrifying’ evenings are incredibly unique and remarkable. The video’s commentary read, “The connection with the people, the energy, vibe, authenticity, disruption, love, mana—the CHILLS.”

And now, we create history, set new standards, and take on endeavors never seen in the history of the WWE. We exert every effort. and everything included.”

The Rock once more hinted at a matchup with Reigns in the video.

Additionally, what really cemented the memory of the entire event was my final words. I will end it there.

In terms of the lengthy history of Samoan professional wrestlers, Reigns, the leader of The Bloodline faction, has declared himself to be the top dog. He has spent more than 1,220 days as the WWE champion.

Reigns is a member of the Anoa’i family; his real name is Leati Joseph Anoaʻi. For many generations, the Anoa’i family has been involved in professional wrestling. Reigns and Rock belong to the same family lineage.

It’s unknown when the match will happen, but Elimination Chamber seems to be the likely venue.
