WWE superstar Roman Reigns calls out cousin Dwayne ‘The Rock‘ Johnson for WrestleMania super-fight
The Big Dog wants to tempt the Hollywood hero back into the ring for a fight between the two members of the Anoa’i family
WWE superstar Roman Reigns wants to fight his cousin Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson at professional wrestling’s biggest event Wrestlemania.
Reigns sees himself as the biggest current full-time star on the WWE roster, despite dividing fans over his limited skill set and wooden mic work.
But Hollywood film star The Rock – who has acted in the Fast and Furious franchise, as well as The Mummy Returns, Hercules and Tooth Fairy – is still the biggest name attached to the WWE.
The proud members of the Anoa’I family have been in the ring together when The Rock saved his little cuz from a Royal Rumble beatdown in 2015.
And Reigns says they go against each other in a giant ‘Mania match, with the 2018 instalment on April 8.
Reigns said: “I can only see me and Rock going at WrestleMania.
"Not only because of his schedule, but just the level of that match and the level of superstar that he is and you know, where I'm trying to get. But we also have a deep family tie.
"We represent the same family tree and having the opportunity to represent our culture, there would obviously have to be a sit down and we would have to express how we feel and the light we want to do this in because there's a lot of people we represent watching.
"The last thing I want to do is make it confusing or anything like that.

Reigns has failed to win over the whole WWE crowd - like previous icons CM Punk, Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin did - while The Rock remains a hero.
After former faction The Shield disbanded, Reigns was handed free run at being the WWE's leading man but he has failed and he has now reunited with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose.
Johnson has been so successful in and out of the ring that he is talking about a run for president and a clash could help Reigns win over more fans.
He said: "I know it's a money match.
And I'm the guy who is still in the ring, so if someone who isn't in the ring every single night wants to come back in the ring, we now call it my yard, so he is going to have to come to me and then we'll go from there.
It won't go down anywhere other than a WWE ring, that's all I'm saying.
"If he wants to get it, then I'm not stepping back for anybody."
The WWE Universe was saddened this summer when the legendary Bobby "The Brain" Heenan sadly passed away.
He was involved in some of the greatest-ever moments both in and out of the ring - and you can check out the top ten here.
