The Rock initially left WWE in 2004 to pursue a career in acting before he returned in 2011 as a part-time performer for two more years.
He went on to make a series of appearances thereafter until his official retirement in 2019.
However, SunSport reports the Universal Champion is in line to make an epic return to WWE in an appearance that would see him face Reigns.

Meltzer further divulged Vince McMahon is hoping The Rock will finally make his long-awaited return to square off with his cousin.
The Rock has previously admitted he would be open to fighting Reigns at WrestleMania 39 in 2022.
Back in 2017, he listed Reigns among four wrestlers he would love to face in the ring.
“One would be Triple H, The Game. The other would be The Beast Brock Lesnar," he said.
“The other one would be a guy that actually just needs my foot in his ***, Roman Reigns. Yeah," he added.
On his part, Reigns has as well flirted with the idea, arguing "some magic would be made" if he had the chance to battle The Rock.
“He’s the biggest box office attraction for the big screen. So, to be able to take that and match it up with the biggest box office attraction in sports entertainment," he said.

The Triple Threat Match between RAW champion Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman saw the Dominator walk out of the ring with his championship.
