In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer stated that The Rock has indicated that he won't have time to get into the kind of shape, he feels he needs to have to do a main event match with Roman Reigns. ## “We were told that unless he changes his mind in the next few days, since a deadline for Mania plans is coming, that he’s indicated he won’t have time to get into the kind of shape, he feels he needs to be in to do a main event match with Roman Reigns but kept the door open for something in the future. Of course, it is a possibility that it’s something being kept a secret from everyone," Dave Meltzer noted this. ## Meltzer added, “I don’t know that he’s officially turned it down, but the only indication is that it was considered less likely than a few months ago.” ## It should be noted that WWE recently released some new merchandise for The Rock on WWE.com. WWE doesn't regularly merchandise The Rock, but one has to wonder if they are preparing for him to return sometime within the next week or two. ## WWE has already forged a backup plan, in case if there is no Rock, Cody Rhodes will wrestle Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
