WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi has weighed in on the potential referee for the highly anticipated match between The Rock and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. The discussion was sparked by a tweet from Mike Chioda, a well-respected figure in the wrestling business who held the record for the longest tenure as a WWE official until his departure in 2020.
Chioda, who has overseen numerous high-profile matches throughout his career, reached out to the Twitterverse to seek opinions on who should officiate the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship clash between the two iconic figures.
In response to Chioda’s query, Rikishi, a legendary figure in WWE history, voiced his preference for the experienced official. Rikishi’s choice adds an interesting layer to the ongoing speculation surrounding the buildup to the clash between The Brahma Bull and The Tribal Chief on the Road to WrestleMania 40.
The possibility of a match between The Rock and Roman Reigns has been a topic of discussion, with The Rock himself addressing the potential showdown in various interviews.
In a recent conversation with Will Cain of Fox News, The Rock acknowledged ongoing talks about a return to the ring for a match against Roman Reigns. Expressing his strategic approach to such a significant bout, The Rock hinted at the potential for creating one of the biggest WrestleMania spectacles ever.
While fans initially anticipated Cody Rhodes, winner of the Men’s Royal Rumble Match for the second consecutive year, to play a pivotal role at WrestleMania 40, he has declined to face Reigns in the marquee event. This decision has left the WWE Universe displeased, as evident in the influx of critical messages on the company’s social media platforms.
The unfolding drama and anticipation surrounding the match, coupled with Rikishi’s endorsement of Mike Chioda as the potential referee, only serve to intensify the excitement and speculation surrounding WrestleMania 40.
