The Rock returning at SummerSlam was talked about a few weeks ago, Dave Meltzer reports in the latest wrestling observer newsletter. He adds that Rock's return "was hinted to me." That sort of insider information has definitely added credibility to mounting speculation that The Rock will be in Brooklyn this weekend. However, Meltzer stopped short of confirming it, stating he wasn't specifically told that Rock would definitely be there. WWE would be wanting to keep it a surprise, although in media interviews Roman Reigns has indicated that his cousin could be involved. That could be a trick of the WWE PR machine, tease Rock's appearance to build interest, but keep the actual return spot as a surprise. I wanna tell you but I dont want to give anything away. Reigns said. Lets just put it this way. Its The Rock, Dwayne Johnson. Biggest superstar on Earth, possibly. If he wants to show up to Brooklyn, hes going to show up to Brooklyn. It wouldnt be the first time, and it probably wont be the last time. Its WWE. Anything can happen. The comeback angle could be the start of Rock's narrative for WrestleMania 32, a show he is expected to headline just seven months from now. He'll be main eventing Mania against Triple H, so fans should expect any SummerSlam angle to involve a verbal clash between The Game and The Great One. SummerSlam is a four hour show this year, there's certainly plenty of time for a segment featuring The Rock.
