So Rock is wrestling/teaming with Cena at Survivor Series?
haven't watched any WWE stuff for weeks so I'm "out of the loop" a bit with the storylines and I don't read the front page/it's likeness so I don't know the latest "rumours" but I don't think this has been referenced on TV yet. Rock just posted on Facebook:
signature [sig-nuh-cher, -choor]
![]() Yeah. |

The Rock at Survivor Series - Rock & John Connection
The Rock posted the following on his Twitter:
![]() So, it looks like Rock is wrestling at Survivor Series, and teaming with Cena. Is this really happening? Who are they facing? Will it be a Survivor Series match or a regular tag? Discuss. ![]() |

Beat me by a minute.
![]() But yeah, this hasn't been referenced on TV. Though the local Survivor Series commercial mentioned Rock and Cena joining forces, and made it sound like Rock was wrestling. But I thought it was just a thing to push the tickets and were going to bait and switch with Rock just showing up. |

So, will it be a Survivor Series match? Why are they even teaming? I can't see, at this point, any team that could match them, unless they do something like heel Hunter and Punk or something.
Not sure how smart this is, really. I guess it does kickstart the feud, but I'm not a fan of Rock wrestling before Mania. It would have made it that much more special if he hadn't stepped into the ring. |

Then have someone else come out and team with Cena so he doesn't squash Miz and R-Truth on his own... Probably Punk. |

That wording is pretty specific, nothing like the posters we usually get. Hopefully, these two are co-captains of a team.

With the CeNation behind him and against The Rock and the fans behind The Rock and against Cena it feels like you don't need to turn anyone heel. They are essentially both to the other side thus I feel like they won't be wrestling each other at all until Mania and if they are on the show together then it's gonna be a team up thing.

Right. But my feeling is that Rock should not be wrestling AT ALL until Mania. It doesn't matter if it has absolutely nothing to do with Cena. This is one of those things that you got to let simmer and stew. Part of the allure to the Mania match is that it's Rock's first match back in 7 years, and keeping him out of the ring is absolutely the best way to go.
If he's in Cena's corner or something, fine. But I don't want him wrestling. It's another case of WWE blowing their load. Not as bad as some things, but it definitely fits the category. |

It's gonna be awesome to have him and Cena on the same team. Finally a Survivor Series style tag match that people will actually care about.
I think it's a smart move to have Rock get in front of a live audience wrestling before his huge match at Mania so he can get his timing back. I'm no wrestler, but I have a feeling it's not quite like riding a bike. Also putting him in a tag match still protects The Rock a ton with several others working around him. WWE probably doesn't want to build the Cena/Rock encounter with "Rock's first match back" lingering over it because it may overshadow the feud/build. I'm all for it |

Rock needs to wrestle before Mania, sellma few PPVs. I don't really want to see him wrestle, but the people will love it.

Every time Rock steps into the ring before April the Mania buy-rate goes down by 3%

This was my thought exactly..... I assume that he would appear at MSG, as his career started at Survivor Series in New York back in '96..... I'm still hoping for only an in-ring segment, maybe some shenanigans in Cena's match.....

This is the next logical step in the feud though. If he comes out and just talks smack and closes the segment with a Rock Bottom or finisher exchange, it's pretty much just running-in-place from WrestleMania.
The Rock being ice cold for 8 years and then being in the main event of Mania is asking for a lot without any true warm up. This is the perfect warm up IMO. There's also a huge part of the fanbase that's never seen The Rock wrestle or look like a threat. So why not get him in the ring and showcase him before the big show? Not every WM buyer is going to be a loyal smark from the Attitude Era. With that, I don't think Rock wrestling once or twice before Mania will affect the buys negatively at all |

From WWE.com:
WWE sources have confirmed that The Rock and John Cena will be a part of a Traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series Tag Team Match. Stay tuned for more details. |

A part of me wants to say Rock leaked the graphic when he shouldn't have, but he's a lot smarter than that.
They've been doing this angle mostly on the internet anyway, so this does make sense. |

I'm guessing the main two guys opposing them will be Miz and R-Truth.
I think Punk, Trips, Nash and Del Rio will be kept seperate from Cena and Rock around that point. |

I think there's an actual shot for a Rock & Sock formation.... MSG would go crazy, but mostly every other arena would ask themselves, "who's the fat guy in the flannel?"

The Rock has been teasing or mentioning on Twitter he was coming back in some form to continue his feud with Cena late in the year either as another verbal war or potential match.
Although I think the only time it was referenced on tv might have been the RAW after Mania or the following week where he promised to face Cena at Mania but would also show up before the end of the year. |

Alberto Del Rio, Kevin Nash, Mason Ryan (with Michael Cole), The Miz, & Triple-H vs. Big Show, CM Punk, John Cena, Mick Foley, & The Rock
Del Rio and Cena continue their feud over the title, Nash returns and reunites with a heel Triple-H to continue their feud with Punk, Ryan returns on RAW sometime with Cole as his manager and starts toward a massive push, Foley returns and reunites with Rock. Throw in a returning Show on the face side and Miz on the heel side, we're ready to go. |

This really confuses me. Now I'm not against the Rock wrestling at SS, but along side Cena? that's where it gets weird.
Maybe the anonymous GM will make them team together. I don't know, it seems really odd since they are opponents at WM28 and dislike each other very much. |

IF they really want buyrates and ratings, the match will be for "control" of WWE.
Team Vince: The Rock, John Cena, CM Punk, Mick Foley, The Undertaker Team HHH: Triple H, Kevin Nash, Batista, Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels. Yah I said it. |
