WWE Netflix is the new era ushered upon the landscape of the global juggernaut following the move of Monday Night RAW on Netflix on January 6. The debut show featured the likes of The Rock, Roman Reigns and John Cena, kicking off the era in spectacular fashion.
Speaking of The Rock and Roman Reigns, the duo shared an iconic moment on the premiere episode of RAW on Netflix. This has unleashed the conversation of whether the WWE Universe could finally see the dream clash between the two iconic Samoans in the WWE Netflix era.
Can The Rock vs Roman Reigns take place in the WWE Netflix era?
The Rock opened Monday Night RAW on Netflix’s debut show on January 6 inside the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. After his segment, his cousins, Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, collided against each other in the Tribal Combat. The match saw Reigns emerge victorious over Sikoa and earn the right to call himself ‘The One and Only Tribal Chief’ of WWE.
Following the match, The Rock returned to ringside and presented Roman Reigns with the ‘Ula-Fala’ and acknowledged Roman Reigns as the Tribal Chief. The duo had an intense staredown, which became an iconic moment at the start of the WWE Netflix era, beginning the conversation of a potential dream match between the two biggest names in the company.
According to a report by Dave Meltzer, The Rock vs. Roman Reigns could take place in the new era. Following the scrapping of The Rock’s plans to face Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, the idea of The Final Boss battling The Tribal Chief is still on their minds. Moreover, Meltzer noted that it could take place either at WrestleMania 41 or even in Saudi Arabia later this year.
“The idea of Rock vs. Reigns we have been told by several is not dead and they still could go to that in the future, perhaps Mania but the idea of somewhere else, particularly with the crazy money some places are paying fighters, that could also be an option. It’s up to him if he wants and has time to go through the training camp he feels is necessary to prepare himself at his age to do the match.”– [H/T NoDQ.com]
The Rock vs Roman Reigns was set to be the main event of WrestleMania XL. However, the fan siding with Cody Rhodes led to WWE changing the plans for The Show of Shows last year. With recent reports and major teases made with The Rock’s return appearances, there is a huge possibility that the dream showdown between The Rock and Roman Reigns looks like a real possibility in the WWE Netflix era.
