The Rock to return earlier than expected
The Rock is scheduled for a Royal Rumble showdown with CM Punk on the 27th of January 2013, which was originally claimed to be the scheduled return of The Rock to WWE.
But now, the WWE has announced that he will be appearing live on the January 7th episode of RAW from Tampa, FL. He will also be appearing at the SmackDown taping the following night, on January 8th, from Miami.
