The Rocks future in WWE is questionable, to say the least a planned WrestleMania XXX match with Brock Lesnar was scratched after Rock was badly injured at WrestleMania XXIX, suffering muscle tears that delayed the filming of Hercules. With the delay costing the production millions of dollars, and The Rock seemingly more injury-prone since his 2011 comeback, future gambles on the health of 2013s top-grossing actor dont seem to make sense. A match at 2015s show is already looking unlikely with the release date of Fast & Furious 7 moved to April 3, 2015 (or five days after WrestleMania), The Rocks schedule is packed. Still, The Peoples Champion has made it clear that he is just that; if the opportunity to create something special for the fans arises, hell seize it. Though the feasibility/marketability of previous dream opponents like Shawn Michaels, Sting, and Rey Mysterio has disappeared, a new slew of potential matches exists and chief amongst them would be an encounter with the new peoples champion, Daniel Bryan. Face/heel dynamics wouldnt even matter just so long as each man showed up, bringing his millions (and millions) of fans or his Yes! Movement with him, wed be guaranteed a clash for the ages. With Dwayne Johnson across the ring from him, Daniel Bryans return and his status as a cornerstone of WWE would be rock solid.
