During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray predicted that the Saudi Arabian government would pay a blank check in order to make a historic matchup between The Rock and Roman Reigns happen for the first time at Wrestle Mania 43 next year.
Bully Ray explained (via WrestlingInc.com), “I just think when there’s that much money on the table, anything is possible. I think that the Saudi government is going to basically tell The Rock, fill in the blank, and he’ll sign the check, Rock versus Roman.” He added, “There’s not a state in the United States, and I don’t believe that there is a country on the planet that can outbid Saudi.”
It was previously rumored by The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was pushing for The Rock to headline WrestleMania 43 against Cody Rhodes or Roman Reigns. Additionally, it was said that negotiations for the former WWE Champion were “advancing” and close to being done.
The Rock has not yet been confirmed for WrestleMania 43. He last wrestled in the main event of WrestleMania 40: Night 1, successfully teaming with Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. The first overseas WrestleMania of all time will take place next year with WrestleMania 43 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
