WWE Legend Could Return After 45 Months to Dethrone Roman Reigns at SummerSlam For The Undisputed WWE Universal Championship
At WWE SummerSlam 2023, Roman Reigns could face Jey Uso to defend his WWE Universal Championship. If this happens, the Tribal Chief may lose his title because The Rock may become involved and cause problems.
The Rock was last seen on WWE TV in October 2019 for the 20th-anniversary episode of WWE SmackDown. There were rumors that he would come back to WWE before WrestleMania 39 to prepare for a match against Roman Reigns. However, those rumors turned out to be false
After the first night of WrestleMania 39, The Rock hinted that he might be a part of The Bloodline story in the future. In addition, Jey Uso paid tribute to The Rock at Money in the Bank by copying his famous moves, which could be a sign that The Rock may return.
The Rock could return and cause Roman Reigns to get dethroned
Because of these things, it wouldn’t be a surprise if The Rock returns to help Jey Uso in his match against Roman Reigns at SummerSlam. The people who make the storylines could have The Rock come in during the fight to help Jey win. This would make the event more exciting and could lead to a future match between The Rock and Roman Reigns.
Sending electric energy, love, gratitude and support to our WWE Universe, Team WWE and my fellow women and men @WWE & @WWENXT Superstars whom I will always have your backs. Make history this weekend, move the crowd and have fun.

Mick Foley wants The Rock to face Reigns

“If [WWE] know now that they can have Rock in a main event for WrestleMania 40 — with Roman’s streak at that point surpassing 1,300 days — that would be a majestic match. They could have a heck of a feud without the title, too. But, if they feel like they have The Rock in reserve, I think Roman holds that title, which might be why they divided the title [creating a new World Heavyweight Championship]. Final answer — If Rock’s in the works [for WrestleMania 40], I’m okay with Roman holding on to the title,” Foley said on his podcast.
