Baron Corbin brought up The Rock in an argument with Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns cannot stay too far away from scuffles, whether it’s online or inside the ring. And he was out for blood on Twitter on Tuesday night.
The WWE United States Champion, Sheamus, put out an open challenge for his title and dared anyone to step into the ring to challenge him for the belt.
And just as he responded to Bobby Lashley’s call a few weeks back, Baron Corbin was on hand to lay claim to the opportunity.
King Corbin replied to Sheamus’ call by asking him to also put ‘a bottle of bourbon on it’. Reigns took note of this tweet and had a reply of his own.
‘The Tribal Chief’ replied by saying ‘Y’all sissy’s drink flavored vodka.’ Now you knew here that a mini Twitter war was brewing.
Corbin responded by calling The Rock, who is Roman Reigns’ cousin brother, the ‘real head of the table’, a nickname which Reigns has given to himself.
‘The Big Dog’ then said that if The Rock was Corbin’s uncle, then Reigns must be his dad. Real or just to advance a storyline, we can’t quite tell at this stage.
The Rock returning to WWE is any pro wrestling fans’ dream at the moment. The Electric superstar even had an altercation with Corbin on SmackDown a few years ago.
Although he announced his retirement from pro wrestling in August 2019, he returned a month later for SmackDown’s 20th anniversary.
He was doing a promo with ‘The Man’ Becky Lynch but were interrupted by Baron Corbin. And you can imagine what happened next…
Dwayne Johnson might have retired officially, but sporadic appearances like those can never really be ruled out. And especially considering that a future Reigns vs The Rock fight is something that the entire WWE Universe is crying out for.
