The Rock’s availability for Mania is still very much up in the air, but no one has really brought up whether or not he will be available on Monday Night Raw or Smackdown over the next several months to build for Wrestlemania. The rumors are that there is a plan in place for whatever WWE has planned.
If he is wrestling a match, that is going to be a necessary thing for him to do. He’s said to already be limited during Wrestlemania weekend because of the shooting schedule for Baywatch. That was rumored to be really difficult to get around, but somehow WWE found a way to get around it for at least one day.
The People’s Champion has been taking to Twitter and hyping up his Wrestlemania appearance since he was announced for it. The Rock made the following statement:
“It’s official. People’s champ is coming home to do three things with The People: Set an all-time attendance record. Electrify Dallas like never before and make all-time WrestleMania history. And have fun. Okay, that’s four things, but you know, what the hell. The Rock’s sayin’ `Thank you WWE Universe.’ It’s always an honor coming home and I wouldn’t miss it for the world.”
