There has been talk that The Rock may be interested in wrestling at WrestleMania 35 next year in New Jersey, according to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
If there’s no scheduling conflict, The Rock is expected to appear on the show in some capacity, Meltzer says.
Whether or not he’d actually be able to wrestle is a different story. The issue over the past few years has been insurance reasons, with movies that The Rock has signed onto not wanting him to risk injury. The Rock wrestled John Cena at WrestleMania 29 in 2013 and suffered a torn muscle in that match, which delayed filming of “Hercules.” He last wrestled a quick “match” against Erick Rowan at WrestleMania 32 in 2016, where he just hit him with a Rock Bottom and immediately pinned him.
WWE reportedly wanted to bring The Rock in at WrestleMania this year to team with Ronda Rousey against Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, but he was not able to because of scheduling reasons.
Elias has been teasing a confrontation with The Rock for a few months, even starting a GoFundMe for The Rock’s recovery after he “walks with Elias.”
Thus sayeth Elias:
I have seen the future..
Please donate to Rocky Maivia (aka @TheRock)..
