The Rock vs. Roman Reigns could happen as soon as WWE’s next pay-per-view event in Saudi Arabia, according to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
The long-anticipated match was rumored for WrestleMania 40 before the ‘We Want Cody’ movement led to WWE ensuring that Reigns would face Rhodes this April.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it is explained that WWE could keep the Reigns-Rock match for their next high-profile Saudi event. The report states,
“The next Saudi Arabia PPV is 5/25, which will be the day before AEW’s Double or Nothing show. When there was an attempt by some to get Rock to move to a later date with Reigns and keep Cody Rhodes in the spot (while Nick Khan and Ari Emanuel had made the deal, there were people who felt that since the spot was promised to Rhodes last year and they’d been building it, have it be Rhodes at Mania and Reigns-Rock in Saudi with the idea of garnering more money, this would have been that date.
“When asking if Rock will be working that show, we’re told there are a lot of variables in play and a variety of factors but obviously the company would like it if he would. But while nothing is set in stone, the belief as of right now is that Mania won’t be his only match in 2024 and there is definitely a push to get him to work at least one Saudi Arabia event this year.”
