The Rock, however, replied by saying that the world isn’t ready for that, and such a big match could only take place at Wrestlemania.
“No, the world’s not ready. A match that big can only happen at WrestleMania,” stated The Rock. While Dwayne Johnson was expected to make an appearance at Wrestlemania 38, albeit that didn’t happen, his cousin Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to win both the WWE Championship and the WWE Universal Championship.
