The Rock To Win WWE Championship In 2019?
'The Great One' to strike gold ahead of Saudi Arabia return?
The Rock could earn $20million from the Saudi General Sports Authority for one 2019 appearance that could also see him win 11th WWE/Universal/World/Whatever Championship according to some rumour and innuendo currently being reported by The Dirty Sheets.
The company are set to run their third event in Saudi Arabia next April as part of a 10-year working agreement with the country that commenced with the the post-WrestleMania 34 Greatest Royal Rumble.
Rock stands to net a Brock Lesnar-like fortune for even fewer dates if plans go ahead as above. The eight-figure Saudi sum would account for that single appearance, but would likely be augmented by lofty amounts offered to 'The Great One' to potentially win the title at WrestleMania 35 or an associated event around the time.
There's already precedent for the Saudi Arabia money buying fantasy booking scenarios for fantasy booking's sake. Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman was rumoured to have requested the late Ultimate Warrior and Yokozuna for an utterly bananas 50 Man Royal Rumble earlier this year, whilst November's Crown Jewel card looks increasingly likely to feature a Shawn Michaels return that will surely see 'HBK' earn his biggest ever payday eight years after his retirement.
