Will The Rock Vs. Roman Reigns, the most anticipated dream match of a generation, take place on a show other than WrestleMania 40?

The Brahma Bull returned to WWE programming during this week's Day 1 edition of Monday Night Raw to an eclectic response from the crowd. WWE had been teasing the return of a former WWE Champion in the days before the show, and after a fakeout with Jinder Mahal, The Rock returned. During his promo, The Rock asked the fans if they'd like to see him as Head of the Table, alluding to taking the spot held by Roman Reigns.

With the tease on this week's Raw, many have predicted that The Rock Vs. Roman Reigns will at long last take place at this year's WrestleMania. This has come as bad news to fans of Cody Rhodes who hope that his story will be finished this April with a victory over Reigns, something Rhodes failed to do at WrestleMania 39.

In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it is made clear that everyone in WWE is "tight-lipped" about the possible Rock-Roman showdown. Dave Meltzer noted that the match could happen as soon as WWE Elimination Chamber: Perth. The local government has reportedly requested the Brahma Bull for the February 24 event.

There's also the possibility that the match could happen at one of WWE's high-profile events in Saudi Arabia. While no dates have been announced, two Saudi events are expected this year. Meltzer noted that the Saudi government pays "ridiculous money to have high-profile shows. It was added that bringing The Rock in "could possibly negotiate a bonus that would make it the biggest money event in company history."

It would make sense not to have it at Mania since it most probably will not be for the belt anyway, maybe a match for the "Head of the table." This way Reigns can still lose the belt at Mania to Rhodes or whoever. Going to be interesting to see which way WWE goes with this.

I totally forgot about the Saudi shows. That would actually make sense from a financial aspect. They bring in a lot of money and will have a lot of publicity.

If it is at a Saudi show, I am sure the Saudi's will throw in a lot more bonus money to have The Rock have a match there.
