What is the possibility of The Rock appearing at WWE SummerSlam?
In recent weeks, WWE has teased the possibility of The Rock appearing at SummerSlam, mostly courtesy of Grayson Waller mocking The Great One.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter recently reported that there isn't any confirmation of the former WWE Champion possibly appearing at SummerSlam and being a part of the card in any capacity.
Meltzer also mentioned that due to the ongoing writers' strike, there are chances of The Great One appearing.
"I asked if there’s gonna be somebody else, and they said 'I don’t know, maybe.' So, who knows? I mean, he could do it. I don’t know if Dwayne Johnson will come back, but if he’s going to do it for something, it’s gonna be for 50,000 fans in Detroit, which is this show. I don’t know what he’s doing again, I know there’s a strike on and everything, but he’s always doing something," said Meltzer.
PEOPLE'S ELBOW?
