Kevin Nash, a WWE Hall of Famer, doesn’t think Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will unseat Roman Reigns as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion at WrestleMania 40.
The Rock has been appearing in professional wrestling on and off lately. In September, he shocked everyone by returning to SmackDown and confronting Austin Theory.

The 51-year-old Hollywood megastar Johnson also took a break from his acting career to participate in WWE’s New Year’s Show Day 1 and defeat Jinder Mahal.
Then, in a heated promo, he made a clear indication that a dream match between him and Reigns at WrestleMania was impending.
The 10-time world champion is rumored to make his ring comeback in April, the first time since he defeated Erick Rowan in an unscheduled bout at WrestleMania 32.
And The Head of the Table, the former WWE Champion, might be the featured act at this year’s Mania.
But Nash is determined that The Tribal Chief’s incredible title reign—which just surpassed 1,200 days—won’t end at the Show of Shows.
Rather, the six-time global champion anticipates that The Rock will fall short against The Big Dog in the same manner as Hulk Hogan consented to defeat the former at WrestleMania 18.
According to the American, Reigns should beat Hogan’s incredible 1,474-day reign, which would make him the second-longest reigning world champion in history, only to Bruno Sammartino.
Because WWE has the opportunity to create history, there is no reason for The Great One to pass away.
In addition, the former head of New World Order thinks that Seth Rollins, the World Heavyweight Champion, won’t lose at WrestleMania in front of his speculated matchup with CM Punk.
In an interview with Kliq This podcast, Nash stated, “I don’t see them taking the belt away from Roman or from Seth.
They want Roman to break the Hogan streak, don’t you think? There is no benefit to having Dwayne review.
“Dwayne would probably perform the job well, just like Hogan did for Dwayne in Toronto. “F**king rub that monster.”
At the Royal Rumble on January 27 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, Reigns is scheduled to defend his title against Randy Orton, LA Knight, and AJ Styles in a Fatal 4-Way Match.
In three months at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, The Rock is scheduled to fight, however it is unclear if the 38-year-old will make it.
This is due to the possibility that the six-time world champion will instead face Cody Rhodes in a WrestleMania rematch.
