Reigns is set to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 34 and he is expected to win the title and establish himself as the top star in the business.
The three-time world champion has gained a lot of inspiration by watching his cousin The Rock beat Hogan at WrestleMania 18 in one of the biggest dream matches of all time.
According to Give Me Sport, The Big Dog told NOLA: “I’m going to go with Rock-Hogan at WrestleMania 18. Just the energy and the environment.
"Once the crowd is standing up and their leaning over that barricade and everyone is doing everything they can to see, that’s when you know you got them.
"And they had them before they even locked up. That’s the type of stuff that I’m into.”
Reigns and The Rock identify themselves as cousins.
Of course the relation is not biological but has occurred as a result of Reverend Amituana’i Anoa’i, Reigns’ grandfather, declaring Peter Maivia, The Rock’s grandfather, as his blood brother - something that holds deep meaning within Samoan culture.
Reigns has also been part of some unforgettable WrestleMania matches against Triple H and Lesnar.
The ex-Intercontinental Champion is also one of only two people to ever beat The Undertaker at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
