WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns asks Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and John Cena to stay in Hollywood rather than return
ROMAN REIGNS has told both Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and John Cena to stay focusing on Hollywood rather than return to ‘his’ WWE ring.
SmackDown’s Universal Champion looks set to face both of the legendary wrestlers turned movie stars in the not too distant future.
Rumours have been rife for months that the Tribal Chief will take on his cousin Rock when WrestleMania hits California in 2023.
Over more recent weeks, speculation is mounting that Reigns, 36, will battle the 16-time world title holder Cena at Survivor Series in November.
Reigns was asked about potential matches against the megastars during a recent interview with ESPN’s SportsNation.
And he told both men to stay away from WWE.
Reigns said: “Yeah, that [a match with The Rock] is a dream for a lot of our fans, but it ain’t a dream of his, you know what I mean?
“I get a lot of this with both Dwayne and John. These guys are doing very well for themselves, there’s no question about it.
“If I were these guys, I don’t know if I’d wanna come back and deal with me.”
Reigns added: “I am a problem right now for everybody. If I were them, I’d stay on set and keep pumping out these streaming service movies.

“Don’t come to my ring… is what I would do.”
Cena claimed earlier this week that the pandemic era has allowed Reigns to ‘find out who he is’ from a character standpoint.
