This began speculation that we’re finally getting Rock vs. Reigns, either at Elimination Chamber in Australia in February or at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia in April.
It looks like WWE will do this match at WrestleMania 40, because Reigns isn’t scheduled to be a part of Elimination Chamber.
Here’s what the Wrestling Observer reported:
“What we did have confirmed is the Australia rumors aren’t accurate. Roman Reigns is not even scheduled for the (Elimination Chamber) show. He’s never been advertised and there are no plans for him for that date right now.”
