Hayward, February 2, 2023 - The Rock's possibility to appear at WWE WrestleMania 39 might not be deniable because the speculations can turn into reality sometimes, but The Rock-facing Roman Reigns at the event has been scrapped for all. That being said, WWE has already confirmed plans as Reigns will defend his title against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 39. ## While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer Recently mentioned that since there is no title match, The Rock could be in some former fashion. There is always the idea and WWE wouldn't like to let out those ideas at all. ## To follow up on the report, Eric Bischoff discussed plans for the Rock's return. While speaking on the Strictly Business podcast, Bischoff proposes that the Rock should be included in between the bout to make the most out of his return. ## “[He] never has to lift a finger, never has to get out of his chair, and now we’re reversing one of Roman’s greatest attributes: his ability to get inside your head. All it will take is a look from Rock and a wink to Cody and a smile on Cody’s face — at that point, 50% of Roman’s power has been decimated by the mere presence of The Rock.” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Reigns said he loved Zayn and he was in their family but if he didn’t want to do it, he should “go and do Jackass shit.” Reigns got in Zayn’s face and told him to do it. ## Zayn finally did it. He nailed Reigns in the back with the chair. This got a huge pop but it was quelled after Jimmy superkicked Zayn. Solo and Jimmy beat the crap out of Zayn. ## The crowd chanted for Jey who just watched. The Bloodline encouraged him to join but instead, Jey walked off. The crowd cheered Jey who walked down the aisle, obviously torn up by his decision. Reigns beat the shit out of Zayn with the chair as the crowd booed.
