Roman Reigns weighed in on rumors about his cousin, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and John Cena potentially returning to WWE soon.

Speaking to ESPN's SportsNation, Reigns advised the WWE legends to stick to making movies rather than face him in the ring.

"(A match against The Rock is) like a dream for a lot of our fans," Reigns said. "It ain't a dream for his, you know what I mean? I get this a lot with Dwayne and then John Cena as well. These guys are doing very well for themselves, there's no question about it.

"I don't know. If I were these guys, I don't know if I'd wanna come back and deal with me. I'm a problem right now for everybody. If I were them, I would stay on set. I'd keep pumping out these streaming service movies. Don't come to my ring is what I would do."

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Dave Meltzer reported WWE hopes to have The Rock make an appearance at Survivor Series in November, which could set up a potential WrestleMania match against Reigns. There have also been rumors of a Reigns-Cena main event at SummerSlam.

The Rock's last WWE appearance was in October 2019 for SmackDown's 20th-anniversary episode, while Cena's last match was at WrestleMania 36 in April 2020.
