WWE Set To Honour The Rock In Unique Way At Survivor Series 2021
The Rock's 25-year anniversary will be part of this Sunday's WWE Survivor Series.
WWE will honour The Rock by naming a 25-man Battle Royal after him at this Sunday's Survivor Series pay-per-view in Brooklyn.
The show will occur 25 years and four days after Rocky's company debut at the 1996 version of the event; there, he teamed with Jake Roberts, Marc Mero and The Stalker to beat Triple H, Jerry Lawler, Crush and Goldust.
Big Dwayne Johnson won't be there in person this weekend, but WWE wanted to do something in tribute to the Hollywood star anyway. So, they're putting 25 names inside the ring and having them scrap for the...right to steal The Rock's catchphrase for one night? Who knows.
There's nothing actually at stake - it's a mini-tribute then.
Here's the full list of names involved:
Shelton Benjamin, Cedric Alexander, Dolph Ziggler, Jinder Mahal, Shanky, Sami Zayn, Humberto, Angel, Apollo Crews, Commander Azeez, Otis, Chad Gable, Erik, Ivar, R-Truth, Drew Gulak, AJ Styles, Omos, Angelo Dawkins, Montez Ford, Mansoor, Cesaro, Ricochet, T-Bar and Robert Roode.
The match is a collection of guys who didn't really have a spot on the card anyway. It's an excuse to squeeze them on, basically.
