Roman Reigns has addressed the rumors of WWE wanting to book a match between him and The Rock at WrestleMania 39 and the belief that it won't be happening.

His nutrition and his weight training is on point, but you have to condition yourself, and you have to be ready to be ready to fall down. To his defense, it’s one thing to train with weights and bodybuilding to look the part but to get into the ring to do a main event match, an Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match.

Is The Rock going to be entering the WWE Royal Rumble? (FanSided)

WWE's Royal Rumble premium live event takes place on Saturday, Jan. 28. Will Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson be entering the match?

Of course, this only increased the discussion on if he will be appearing at the Royal Rumble. With the event having arrived, will The Rock be participating in the Royal Rumble match? Will The Rock be a competitor in the Royal Rumble match? Much of the anticipation entering the Royal Rumble is who will be challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. “Those close to the situation have noted WWE coming out with new Rock merchandise, but said that is more related to the 30th anniversary of Raw. “That’s been the rumors, and there’s been a huge buzz on that for a long time now, for years now. He had said he would need to have training time to be able to get in ring shape. WWE has always had a backup direction this year given they were aware Johnson was not a sure thing for some time, and as time went on and he didn’t agree, felt the likelihood had lessened. However, Meltzer notes that it could be something that is being done to keep it a secret. One of the most anticipated professional wrestling events of the year is WWE’s Royal Rumble. The show is headlined by two Royal Rumble matches, in which the winner of the over-the-top rope battle royals will earn a world championship match at WrestleMania 39 in Inglewood, Calif. WWE presents the Royal Rumble premium live event on Saturday, Jan.

Speaking to Jimmy Fallon, Roman Reigns addressed the rumors of him facing Dawyne "The Rock" Johnson at WrestleMania 39.

Well, considering what he said on the show, it appears that The Rock is not facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. Roman Reigns, jokingly, called out the Rock and warned him to be prepared to take falls. He also mentioned Cody Rhodes, who will also be returning at the Royal Rumble this Saturday. The rumors of The Rock going one-on-one with Roman Reigns have been going on for over two years now. One needs to be ready to take falls, especially if you are up against The Tribal Chief.

WWE fans are dying to know if 'The Rock' is making his return to the Royal Rumble.

It’s no secret that the WWE has pulled surprises like this off in the past, but with everything else Dwayne Johnson has going on — does he have the time to add a fight into the mix?

The founding father of American punk and a fixture in the 1970s New York rock scene died Saturday as the result of a brief illness.

"Tom and I had an hysterically funny conversation that lasted the last 42 years," guitarist and Television member Jimmy Rip wrote in a statement to NPR. "He was blindingly smart, incredibly well read as well as surreally silly! "I met Tom when I was a child, not long after my dad passed away," Jesse Paris Smith wrote in a statement to NPR. Verlaine developed a cult following throughout his career, but never quite achieved mainstream status and eschewed the limelight. Verlaine thought for a moment before offering his preferred self-deprecating epigram: 'Struggling not to have a professional career.' " Born Thomas Miller in Denville, N.J., Verlaine grew up in Wilmington, Del.

The album would, however, fare much better in the U.K. In particular, Television’s debut, 1977’s “Marquee Moon,” ranks among the greatest albums in rock history. Verlaine locked horns with fellow brilliant guitarist Richard Lloyd to create jaggedly powerful slices of art-rock and improvisation-driven classics.

Music legend, who delivered one of rock's greatest albums, dies at 73 (Pacifica Tribune)

Tom Verlaine, who wrote most of the music on the band Television's amazing "Marquee Moon," reportedly died after a brief illness.

The band got back together in 1992 and released its self-titled third album. Ask the folks at VH1, which included “Marquee Moon” on its list of the 100 Greatest Albums of Rock and Roll, or at Rolling Stone, which ranked it as the 128th best album of all time. (The other cut, “Guiding Light,” is credited to both Verlaine and Lloyd.) He also produced the album with Andy Johns. The album would, however, fare much better in the U.K. In particular, Television’s debut, 1977’s “Marquee Moon,” ranks among the greatest albums in rock history. Television followed up “Marquee Moon” with another strong effort, “Adventure,” in 1978, but it also posted disappointing sales numbers, and the group disbanded soon after.

In many ways, it's a great time to be a fan of WWE. Royal Rumble weekend is always exciting, and it also sets the tone for the road to WrestleMania.

[Mankind](https://www.sportskeeda.com/player/mick-foley) on the pre-taped program in an Empty Arena Match. The 2015 WWE Royal Rumble took place on January 25th. The main card featured five bouts, including the Royal Rumble Match. The former world champion was a touring icon prior to primarily working full-time with WWE and helping the company grow during the Rock 'N' Wrestling Era. While his passing was unfortunate and sad, his legacy lives on to this day. The WWE Royal Rumble took place on January 23rd, 2000, from the legendary Madison Square Garden arena in New York. The special was a unique attempt to garner a large audience while Super Bowl XXXIII went into halftime. [Last week](https://www.sportskeeda.com/wwe/triple-h-makes-massive-in-ring-return-royal-rumble-edition-this-week-wwe-history-january-16-january-22) was all about the Royal Rumble, but other Rumble events will be covered this time around. While his push never quite matched the debut, Tazz would go on to become a key part of the company via commentary. Fans today recognize the Royal Rumble event as an iconic pay-per-view turned Premium Live Event. While things are still chaotic behind the scenes with Vince McMahon's return to the company and a looming sale, the direction of the company is still an exciting one. Royal Rumble weekend is always exciting, and it also sets the tone for the road to WrestleMania.
