Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's potential super-fight with Roman Reigns is not short of possible events. 

'The Rock' made a shock return to the WWE and issued a call-out for a potential super-fight with Reigns.

The 51-year-old last appeared in the WWE back in September, when he told Pat McAfee there were talks for him to take on Reigns at WrestleMania 39.

However, the match never happened. Reigns instead defended his undisputed title against Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes, successfully defeating the former AEW star to the surprise of many. 

Now, WWE fans could potentially see the pair go head-to-head this year after he made a dramatic appearance at Monday Night RAW this week.

The potential super-fight is not short of potential dates - with WrestleMania 40 the leading candidate

During his cameo, 'The Rock' addressed why he was really back, saying: 'I'm gonna go get something to eat.

'Should The Rock sit in a booth? Or should The Rock sit at the bar? Or should The Rock sit... at the head of the table?'

The final phrase was a clear call-out to Reigns, who is nicknamed as 'Head of the Table', who is the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. 

According to Dave Meltzer, there are several possible dates the pair could face-off - with fans desperate to see the two WWE stars headline WrestleMania 40 - which is set to take place between April 6-7.

'While one would think WrestleMania would be the place [for Rock vs. Reigns], it also could be in Perth, Australia, given the story that the government there specifically requested Johnson on the 2/24 Elimination Chamber show, and it also could be at the next show in Saudi Arabia, which does not have a date. 

'The government there is paying ridiculous money for shows already and bringing Johnson in could possibly negotiate a bonus that would make it the biggest money event in company history. 

'It is also possible that Reigns could face Johnson and Rhodes on different nights at WrestleMania.'

Reigns has enjoyed a staggering run as the champion, having had a grip on the Universal Championship for over 1,200 days.

Jey Uso claimed a match-up between the Rock and Reigns would be 'the 'biggest' in wrestling

Last month, Mail Sport exclusively revealed that Jey Uso claimed a match-up between the Rock and Reigns would be 'the 'biggest' match-up in wrestling.

Asked by Mail Sport's Alex McCarthy about this prospect, Uso said: 'If I had to pick one, I'd pick the Tribal Chief. The Rock's been out the game for a while, the Tribal Chief knows what it is.

'I feel like no one's going to dethrone the Tribal Chief, if it's not one of us in the family - I don't think there's no one out there. Punk, Randy, it's none of them.'
