Rumor Roundup: Backstage WWE Update On The Rock, WWE’s Aging Roster, More

1) Backstage WWE Update On The Rock

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Rock will not be appearing at Survivor Series this year. This was something that was previously rumored to happen.

Here is what Meltzer wrote:

This had been talked about for a long time, but it fell through since Johnson had other commitments that has him in Australia for the filming of the second season of “Young Rock” on the day of the show. Because of quarantine regulations, it’s going to be impossible to go back and forth so those involved with the show, including Johnson, will be in Australia from a few weeks from now until late January.

The idea of an appearance/angle from Dwayne Johnson on what would have been the 25th anniversary of his WWF main promotion televised debut at this year’s Survivor Series are out the window.

My Take:

  • I feel like 2023 makes more sense since the event will be in LA. Either way, I really hope we get The Rock vs Roman Reigns.
