The rumors of The Rock finally showing up in a WWE ring are there for Wrestlemania 34.
According to the previous updates from OddsChecker.com, it is certain that the comeback is evident. This will mark an end for the popular superstar being away from his home for more than two years. Another source has now confirmed it.
The latest addition to the mix is cagesideseats.com which reported The Rock is indeed scheduled to make an appearance at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. The last time he was seen on WWE programming at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, two years ago.
Furthermore, the source has also alluded the potential capacity where we will see the Great One. Apparently, he will be sharing the ring with Elias. It will not be a fight but a musical performance.
For weeks now, this has been the speculation which might just turn out to be true. Also, it is going to be perhaps the most entertaining segment of the Wrestlemania night.
Elias had recently desired to share the stage with the ‘most electrifying superstar in all of sports entertainment’. Apparently, he will get the lifetime segment in the middle of 70,000 fans. Plus, WWE has also teased a special surprise appearance that will blow out everybody’s mind. None other than former franchise player of the company might just turn out to be the one.
Ever since his debut on the main roster, Elias has been able to go over with the fans with his Drifter persona. He appears in the middle of the ring to get cheered by the crowd, as he states the acronym for WWE which stands for Walk With Elias.
In the end, each of the segment ends with a great insult to the fans which is why he is a true heel.
On the other hand, The Rock is no stranger with musical performances, as well. Back when he had the Hollywood heel persona, we had witnessed numerous such music performances from him. We have seen a few of these back in 2012-13 when he featured in a feud against John Cena. We can certainly expect a similar memorable concert will be in-store at Wrestlemania 34.
Bringing The Great One in such a capacity is quite understandable. Due to his Hollywood career, he can’t compete in full-fledged matches where his body would be on the line. Hence, he can make only one-off appearances where the capacity would be less physical. But, then again, we would love to see a Rock Bottom or People’s Elbow which will give birth to another Wrestlemania moment.
