10 WWE Thoughts Prior To Attending WrestleMania 32

5. What Will The Rock Do?

One of the main selling points for this year's event is that The Rock will be appearing live. While he's not able to wrestle due to insurance issues with his Baywatch film, "The Great One" has promised to make an impact on the show.

Last year, Rock (and Ronda Rousey) confronted Triple H and Stephanie McMahon in a segment that got the lion's share of the event's mainstream media attention. It was meant to build up two singles matches at this year's show (including the initially-planned main even of The Rock versus Triple H), but the bouts fell apart.

What can The Rock do this year to (A) surpass his segment from WrestleMania 31 and (B) build something up without risking another disappointment? There's no doubt that The Rock's appearance will be a highlight of the show, but hopefully, WWE has something planned that will measurably help the company over the course of the next year.
