10 Best Ways To Use The Rock At WWE WrestleMania 32

Just what will The Great One be doing on April 3rd, 2016?

by Kenny McIntosh

This past week, Dwayne €˜The Rock€™ Johnson revealed on his Instagram account that he will be appearing live at WrestleMania 32 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This has started rumours on whether Rock will be wrestling at the show, or if it€™ll just be a guest appearance. Fans are desperate to know in what capacity they€™ll be seeing The Great One on April 3rd, 2016. What we do know so far is that Rock is filming a movie around that time, so he likely won€™t be appearing on a lot of TV leading up to the big show. Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer also reported several months ago that the studio for his next movie has an insurance policy that would prohibit Rock from having a wrestling match that could impact his shooting schedule. While it€™s too early to tell what€™s changed or what exactly The People€™s Champion will be doing at WrestleMania, I€™ve come up with the 10 most realistic options for how they could use Rocky in Dallas ranging from special appearances to competing in matches. I refuse however to even joke about Rock and Cena III because if it happened I might never stop crying at the prospect of another chapter to that story.

10. WWE Hall Of Fame Induction

If Rock hasn€™t been able to get past the red tape in allowing him to wrestle then maybe WWE will go all out to make the whole weekend about The Rock and make him the headliner to the 2016 Class of the WWE Hall Of Fame. Given that other big guns of the Attitude Era like Steve Austin and Mick Foley are already inducted and how much of a megastar he€™s become, certainly nobody could argue his credential for inclusion in the HOF. This would mean on the night of WrestleMania, he would come out with the rest of the inductees to take a bow and probably do an in ring segment where he lays the smackdown on a low card current roster member before sending the people home happy with a Rock Bottom and a Peoples Elbow. Out of all the ways to use The Brahma Bull this is probably the least inventive. If WWE want to sell 100,000 tickets or close to it then Rock would need to have a far more significant role and I€™m not sure he€™s quite ready to be put in the Hall of Fame and thought of as a legend that no longer competes.
