Before it became clear that his Hollywood schedule would prevent it, The Rock seemed a shoe-in to team with Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 34. That spot went to Kurt Angle instead, but betting website Oddschecker maintain there's a high chance Rocky will be in New Orleans.

Not only that, they're saying there's a 99% chance he'll be working a match.

The Daily Star dropped this news, and Oddschecker's own George Elek even said that The Rock wrestling at 'Mania shared the same odds as "Spain beating the Faroe Islands or San Marino” at football. How's that for confidence?

As tempting as it may be to sprint down to your local bookies and put a punt on The Rock, it's tough to see where he'd fit onto the card right now. Oddschecker don't seem to care, and they're an authority on this sort of stuff. Don't forget that they exist to make money, so it'd be a risk to make such a bold claim without some knowledge.
