Roman Reigns: No One Will Ever Do What The Rock Did

The Rock made his debut as Rocky Maivia at WWE Survivor Series 1996. Over the next five years, he became one of the biggest stars in wrestling before transitioning to Hollywood, becoming one of the box office stars.

The history of wrestling can’t be told without The Rock, and as an extension, Roman Reigns and the entire Bloodline.

Speaking with Nico Leonard, Reigns was asked how much the business would have changed without his family.

“It would still be close to where it’s at, but you would have some missing gaps. To replace my family, and Dwayne in general, it would take a lot to fill those voids. What he’s done is unspoken. Nobody ever hit the scene like Dwayne did and was able to move on to the next thing. To be able to keep it there, that was perfect. Three or four years of perfection and then so smoothly transition to the big screen, no one will ever do that. It will never happen again. No one has ever been white hot in two years, and then two years later, now they’re the biggest box office draw. It won’t happen against because the template is different,” he said.

The Rock returned to team with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.

Elsewhere during the interview, Roman commented on captaining the ship through rough waters. You can find his full comments here.
