The Rock WrestleMania 39 Paycheck Rumor Leaks

WWE Superstar Roman Reigns is certainly one of the top competitors in the company right now and has been on a solid run as the WWE Universal Champion, but he is losing his top spot to two WWE Smackdown women. Roman Reigns successfully defended his WWE Universal Championship against WWE Hall Of Famer Edge and Daniel Bryan in a triple threat match in the main event of Night Two of WrestleMania 37. Roman Reigns might also be losing Paul Heyman eventually. 

 


 

Roman Reigns also successfully retained his WWE Universal Championship against Cesaro in the main event of WrestleMania Backlash. Roman Reigns was scheduled to defend his WWE Universal Championship against Rey Mysterio at the WWE Hell In A Cell pay-per-view. However, that match was shifted to a previous episode of Friday Night Smackdown.

Roman Reigns would successfully defend his WWE Universal Championship against Rey Mysterio as well and went on to defeat Edge and John Cena in subsequent title matches at WWE Money In The Bank and WWE SummerSlam respectively. He then retained his title against Finn Balor at WWE Extreme Rules as well. He defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 and became the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion as well.

Paul Heyman recently spoke to Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Kevin Kellam, where he said that The Rock vs Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39 is simply a fantasy. He also suggested The Rock will get a huge paycheck.
“We can speculate all we want about Dwayne The Rock Johnson stepping into the ring with Roman Reigns,” Heyman said. “It’s masturbatory fantasies until there’s a piece of paper in front of us with Dwayne Johnson’s signature on it. Then I know it’s real. And until then it’s just fantasy. It’s a fantasy of Dwayne Johnson’s to come and get the rub from The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns.
It’s a fantasy of Dwayne Johnson to feel the energy of 20, 30, 40, 50, 100 thousand people live, cheering on as The Tribal Chief smashes The Rock,” Heyman added. “It’s a fantasy of Dwayne Johnson to step into the ring with the greatest of all time, Roman Reigns… then, now, and forever. Not until he puts his name on a contract, it’s just his fantasy.
I had a friend who was a very prominent litigator, used to be involved in lawsuits that were in hundreds of millions of dollars… ExxonMobil, AT&T, multi-billion dollar corporations, way beyond the scope of most people’s imagination, and he would tell stories that sometimes he would go to the CEO and say, ‘Well, the settlement offer is 350 million dollars,’ and the CEOs would say, ‘Ah, I want a billion.’ He would say to the opposition, ‘Cut me the check.’ And he’d walk into the CEO’s office and he’d put down a check for 350 million and say, ‘Take a good look at it and then tell me no.’”
