The Wrestling Observer reported that their various contacts within WWE remain silent about the possibility of The Rock showing up LIVE at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan on August 5th for the SummerSlam 2023 premium-live-event.
Ford Field is a huge stadium, that already hosted WrestleMania 23 on April 1st 2007, with 80,000+ people in the crowd.
WWE usually tries to bring back some of the bigger names from the past, for a show with that many fans in attendance, so it wouldn’t come as a surprise if they’d get The Great One to make an appearance and maybe even deliver a Rock Bottom or two.
Here’s what the Wrestling Observer said:
“I asked if there’s gonna be somebody else, and they said ‘I don’t know, maybe’. So, who knows? I mean, he could do it.
Don’t know if Dwayne Johnson will come back, but if he’s going to do it for something, it’s gonna be for 50,000 fans in Detroit, which is this show.
I don’t know what he’s doing again, I know there’s a (Hollywood) strike on and everything, but he’s always doing something.”
An unnamed member of the WWE creative team also said the following about the Rock/SummerSlam rumors:
“If it’s true – which I doubt – it has not been shared with the writing staff.”
Old School WWF Legend Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is currently the #1 best paid actor in Hollywood and has been for several years now.
There are rumors that if The Rock returns, he could do something with Grayson Waller, who has been taking shots at The People’s Champion for a while now, or finally do an angle with “The Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns.
