The Rock hasn't been part of a proper feud in the WWE since he wrestled and lost the WWE championship to John Cena at WrestleMania 29, but that's okay, as the company as expected, has managed to go on without him.
Still, because he is such a big star, and as it's WrestleMania season, there is always talk about The People's Champion possibly coming back to the WWE for one more match in the future. To give him a proper send off from the company before he hangs up his wrestling gear for good.
WWE recently posted a new poll asking fans who The Rock should wrestle if he were to have one more match in the company, and the answer which the majority of them gave is a perfect dream opponent for The Great One.

The answers which the WWE universe was allowed to choose from were John Cena, AJ Styles, Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, The Undertaker, Randy Orton, Triple H, WWE champion Bray Wyatt, WWE Universal champion Bill Goldberg, WWE Intercontinental champion Dean Ambrose, or other.
As of writing, and as you would expect, 23% of fans picked Styles, followed by 13% for Reigns and The Undertaker, 12% for Triple H and Goldberg, 11% for Lesnar, 5% for Cena, 3% for Orton, 2% for Ambrose and Wyatt, and 4% for other.
The Great One vs. The Phenomenal One. What a match that would be. It basically books itself. And it would be amazing.
It is expected that Styles will be facing off against Shane McMahon at this year's WrestleMania in Orlando, especially after the confrontation which the two superstars had after this week's SmackDown Live went off the air in the gorilla position backstage.
While not so many fans are happy about seeing The Phenomenal One go one-on-one with Shane-O-Mac, a match against The Rock would be a fine replacement, and it would fit well into current WWE programming.
Recently, Styles has been calling himself The Face That Runs the Place on SmackDown Live, a show which The Rock believes belongs to him as the name derived from one of his catchphrases, "Layeth the smackdown." The Phenomenal One believing that he is The Face That Runs the Place on SmackDown Live shouldn't go down with The People's Champion.
It would be brilliant if The Rock was SmackDown's general manager during this time, but simply having him return for a segment with Styles should be enough to get this feud going. Having two of the best of all time going up against each other is bound to be fantastic as well, and a match WWE fans would certainly enjoy.
