Since the beginning of this year, The Rock is heavily rumored to make a comeback to the WWE programming on a historic occasion. He was also supposed to get clubbed into a Wrestlemania program which has now been scrapped. But the company still intends to use him in a big way to get some more subscribers to the WWE Network and Peacock.
WWE announced, earlier on the night that they will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s WWE debut during the month of November.
