The highly anticipated match between WWE superstar Roman Reigns and Hollywood actor Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson is still shrouded in uncertainty as the exact date for their face-off remains unknown. Despite speculation that the clash of the Samoans could occur at the Elimination Chamber event next month in Perth, Australia, recent reports suggest otherwise.

Last week, when The Rock made a surprise appearance on the New Year's Day episode of Raw, fans and pundits alike began buzzing about when Reigns would finally square off against his movie star cousin. Some hopeful fans who were invested in Cody Rhodes getting another chance to conclude his storyline with Roman at WrestleMania 40 had anticipated that the match between the Samoan cousins might take place at Elimination Chamber, thus leaving Reigns available for a rematch against Rhodes in Philadelphia in April.

However, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter's sources dispel these rumors, according to respected wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer. Meltzer has not confirmed whether the Rock/Reigns match will indeed happen at WrestleMania, nor has he revealed what role Cody Rhodes might play in that eventuality. Furthermore, he confirms that Reigns is not scheduled to be in Australia for Elimination Chamber on February 24, stating that Reigns has "never been advertised, and there are no plans for him for that date right now."

This update leaves fans wondering about the status of Cody Rhodes, known as the American Nightmare. Can he maintain his momentum and keep his story with Reigns alive until WrestleMania 41? Alternatively, if Rhodes were to face Reigns at SummerSlam, would it be perceived as a letdown by the WWE Universe? Additionally, would fans accept Reigns as a part-time champion for another year?

As the road to WrestleMania unfolds, the uncertainty surrounding the Roman Reigns vs. The Rock match continues to intrigue wrestling enthusiasts. The upcoming months promise to be filled with twists and turns, leaving fans anxiously anticipating the resolution of this gripping storyline.
