The Rock, or known to the non-WWE fans as Dwayne Johnson, is one of the biggest names in WWE history. Being considered the most electrifying man in all of sports entertainment, The Rock made his WWF debut as the company's first third-generation wrestler in 1996 under the ring name - Rocky Maivia.
He won his first WWF Championship in 1998 by defeating Mankind at that year's Survivor Series PPV. Currently, he is a ten-time World Champion, a five-time Tag Team Champion, and a two-time Intercontinental Champion. The Rock has also won the Royal Rumble match and has headlined WWE's biggest show of the year WrestleMania multiple times.
With him focusing more on his acting career, we hardly get to see The People's Champion appear on WWE TV. But even after many of the wrestlers of his era have retired from the sport, The Rock is yet to officially retire from WWE and pro-wrestling, which leaves us with the question - Who can potentially face The Rock in his last match and retire him?
In this article, let's take a look at the 5 WWE Superstars who can retire The Rock. Let me know in the comments section when you think Rocky will decide to hang up his boots.
#5 Roman Reigns
It is no secret that The Big Dog, Roman Reigns is the cousin of the most electrifying superstar in the history of WWE, The Rock. WWE themselves have acknowledged this when The Rock came out to celebrate Roman Reigns' 2015 Royal Rumble victory.
In his relatively short career, Roman possesses a resume that not many can compare to. He has participated in the main-event of WrestleMania 4 years in a row from 2015 to 2018, has had multiple World Title reigns and is already a grand-slam champion in WWE.
The Rock, on the other hand, is one of the most celebrated names in the business and was a huge part of the success of WWE's attitude era.
WWE recently revealed a list of 5 things that they would like to see at WrestleMania 36, and one of them was The Big Dog facing The People's Champ. Is WWE already planning this huge match for next year's WrestleMania?
#4 Triple H
The Rock and Triple H are two of the biggest and successful names in WWE that are still not retired. WWE has teased this match multiple times in the last few years, with the biggest one of them being at WrestleMania 31, where The Rock and Ronda Rousey took out Triple H and his wife, Stephanie McMahon.
Unfortunately, due to Rock's busy schedule, we are yet to witness these two have a match after that WrestleMania 31 incident, but never say never in the world of pro wrestling. Can we see these two finally face-off in what might end up being The Rock's last match?
#3 Brock Lesnar
The Rock vs Brock Lesnar is a match that can sell off an entire arena as fans would love to see these two wrestling legends face each other in the ring, in a match that could potentially be the last for both of them.
The feud in itself would be a blockbuster with Paul Heyman and The Rock taking on each other on the microphone. A promo battle between the two could turn out to be a great segment as they are two of the best talkers in WWE.
The match in itself could be a good one, as there's no way The Rock would allow it to be a squash match. Also, while facing a legend like The Rock, Lesnar himself would work harder than what he usually does.
#2 Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated wrestlers in WWE. The amount of talent and skills that this man possesses both inside the ring and on the mic are enough to make him one of the greatest wrestlers in the world right now.
The Rock is a huge fan of the Samoan Submission Machine as mentioned by him in an interview two years ago. A match between the two would be amazing as both of them are more than capable of building a feud just with their mic skills.
Facing a legend like The Rock and retiring him could just be the accelerator that Joe's career badly needs. These two Samoans clashing would be an intriguing match that fans would definitely love to see in the near future.
#1 John Cena
The Rock vs John Cena was in many ways the clash of two eras and one of the biggest rivalries in the history of the company. Their epic clash at WrestleMania 28 was a result of a year-long build-up that started at WrestleMania 27. The Rock came out on top in this match.
Their next match came one year later at WrestleMania 29, where John Cena settled the scores by defeating Rock to become the new WWE Champion. Thus, John Cena and The Rock are 1-1 head to head, that leaves the possibility of a deciding final clash between these two icons.
WWE can easily build a deciding third clash between these two with even adding a "Looser has to retire" stipulation to the match. Ultimately, The Rock having his final match against one of his greatest rival's would be a great way to end his Hall of Fame-worthy career.
Who do you think should be given the honour to retire the most electrifying superstar in the business? Sound off your thoughts and suggestions in the comments section below.
