The Rock surprised the WWE Universe when he joined Roman Reigns after the WrestleMania 40 press conference. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson wanted to prove his family line superior to other wrestling families worldwide, leading to an altercation with Cody Rhodes.
According to rumors, ‘The Brahma Bull’ will face his Anoa’i family member Roman Reigns at WWE WrestleMania 40 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. UFC fighter Michael Chandler recently shared his prediction of The Rock walking out with the title in the ‘Show of Shows’, which surprised WWE fans.
Michael Chander envisions The Rock winning the WWE title at WM 40
The Rock has been making the decisions of the Stamford-based company since he joined the TKO group’s board of directors. ‘The People’s Champion’ made it clear that he will only join hands with the company if he gets to face ‘The Big Dog’ Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and the right to be the new ‘Head of the Table’.
Although ‘The Rock’ made it possible to face his fellow Anoa’i family member, it came at the cost of causing Cody Rhodes to lose his chance to ‘Finish the Story’. This enraged fans who supported ‘The American Nightmare’ and soon started to deny The Rock his title match at WM 40 for causing this massive debacle.
A little while back, Michael Chander, who currently competes in the lightweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), predicted that The Rock would walk out with the title and win the match against the ‘Head of the Table’. Michael even used the Rock’s line to slam Conor McGregor.
“I got The Rock taking the title,” said Michael Chander. “He’s coming back to shock everybody. Al the doubters, all the naysayers, all the crybabies, The Rock is about to put an ass-whooping on all of them.”
At the moment, The Rock is portraying a heel persona, and many fans support the master of the ‘Rock Bottom’. WWE fans envisioning ‘The Great One’ winning the match against The Tribal Chief is not out of the ordinary. Although Cody Rhodes is gunning for the same opportunity, fans are hoping to see the best fight the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.
The Rock once praised Chandler on promo work
Michael Chander has been making waves in UFC and even The Rock approved of the 37-year-olds ability as a sportsman. Chandler, was seen in action on the main card of UFC 274, facing off against Tony Ferguson, which occurred in May 2022 Saturday in Phoenix, Arizona. After the match, which he won after knocking his opponent, Michael gave a heartfelt promo that impressed the 10-time WWE world champion, who went on to praise the MMA fighter for his amazing mike skills.
Dwayne Johnson said on Twitter, “What an incredible KO from Michael Chandler. And on top of that, he just delivered a truly electrifying promo that already sold tickets to his next fight that’s not even booked yet.”
Although Chandler believes that The Rock will walk out as the new world title holder. But, the match card for WrestleMania is still not final, as the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is set to defend the gold against Cody Rhodes, and The Rock’s match is still undecided for the time being.
