On a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash discussed Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson turning heel by slapping Cody Rhodes at the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff press conference last week, and how Roman Reigns could surpass Hulk Hogan’s 1980s title reign.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On The Rock as a heel: “People forget how good of a f***ing heel Rock was, and people also forget how quick in Toronto [WrestleMania 18] Rock made the adjustment on Hogan when the building made the adjustment with Hulk.”
On his belief that Roman Reigns will surpass Hulk Hogan’s title reign: “I think that they’re going to want for Roman to be of the modern generation, the longest champ. I think they want to erase the Hogan era, they do. I think they want to start basically clean from that era. If you ever are going to do that, you’re about 200 days away from it right now.”
At present, it appears that The Rock has sided with Roman Reigns, who will defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 40 (Night Two).
