3. Announcing His Royal Rumble Entry
One blockbuster idea for The Rock this December would be for him to come out and reveal he's entering the 2016 Royal Rumble. That would be sure to create some buzz for the January event. He'd make a surprise return, cutting one of his legendary promos and having fun with the audience. He'd then get serious, stating his intentions to enter the Rumble and his hope of going on to WrestleMania to become WWE Champion. In this idea, it would be early ground work for what is looking set to be a Rock focused WrestleMania season. With him looking likely as the headliner of the April 3rd event, the sooner he comes back the better. Otherwise he may end up looking like just a guy who popped in for Mania, which could make fans turn on him. Get him back in December as a semi-regular going forward, and he'll be accepted more.
