The Rock officially confirmed for Wrestlemania 32
Let the speculation begin. Will he wrestle? If so, who?

Lol Rock announced it on his Instagram account, and WWE have announced it too. I'm just lazy in posting links

I very rarely post on here but I have been a member for over 10 years. And I don't know Ryan Clark personally.
Does anybody think Rock will actually wrestle then? I can see them announcing Rock being there as a way to get more tickets sold, and they have a far better chance to reach that 100k attendance now, but I'm not sure who the best opponent for him would be. Brock would be a great option but chances are Rock would probably get injured with all those suplexes he'll receive |

Yeah I agree with that. It's a shame he couldn't face a guy like Daniel Bryan who he could have a great match with and be reasonably risk free

As great as the Rock is, I have to say "meh."
His presence is unfair to the guys who bust their ass year 'round who end up getting the Mania clusterfuck match AT BEST. And it doesn't really benefit them down the road because the folks who don't follow regularly (me) won't get the chance to see them be awesome, or stand out. What will they do down the road when they can't get the Rock to show up, Taker's gone, and the Cena's done (aka possibly 2017 for all 3)? |

The problem is who will Reigns face in 2017? Rollins? Lesnar? Sheamus? They need to build up threats to him, as well.

If they have Reigns as the face of the company then technically you don't need long to build up a top heel to feud with. It may not be the best example, but it did take a few months for Del Rio to be built up as a title challenger at Mania

While I have no idea who it could be, this card BADLY needs a Rock match. Don't know if it'll get it, but there is no way this does 100,000 fans without something special with this roster.

I think Rock is being brought in for the Reigns/Cena feud, other than that it'll be my first live interaction with The Rock so I'm pumped for that. Jim Ross will be in town as well, so the chance for him to come in for a match is likely

Busted Open figured this out
HHH comes back monday to try and screw over Reigns but it backfires. HHH gets a match with Reigns himself at the Rumble. Rock shows up in that match to help Reigns win. Cue match at WM with HHH. I could even see them going the exrra step of having Reigns/Rock/Usos vs LON at Fastlane |

Doubt Rock work a b show at this point unless he's magically champion again. It's been years but I still have no interest in Rock v Hunter. Now Rock v Owens, with KO going over? Now we're talking.

They seem to be somewhat friendly. KO wished him well on the birth of his daughter. The Rock thanked him, acknowledged his family man aura and told him he had a hell of a year.

Im starting to think the whole "Rock cant get insuranceand hes filming a movie so he cant wrestle" is similar cover to Daniel Bryan not being "cleared to wrestle".

Personal opinion, Rock should not be hyping up this Wrestlemania situation unless he's wrestling. Period.

You use the rest of the year to put your full time guys over so that the casual fan/mainstream audience will pay to see them at wrestling's Super Bowl. WWE is failing at putting over new stars. But the failure is happening over the other 11 months of the year. You need your biggest draws at WrestleMania. |

That being said, stuff like that Taker-Wyatt match at WrestleMania last year that seemed to only serve to put Taker over at the expense of Wyatt was just silly.

Rock v.s. Brock sounds good on paper, but at the end of the day it wouldn't feel alright where they're both at in their careers. It would be an obvious attraction filler. Brock would have to go heel and beat the piss out of Roman and something tells me they're not going to do that. Heel Rock won't last a day with his Internet presence of being the best guy on Earth.

I don't think Rock vs Brock will happen b/c I think Rock would be scared to get concussed via Suplex City...
...feel like Rock will be the "Guest Host" of WrestleMania like he was at WrestleMania 27 |

My guess is he'll work a match. I think if they can get Rousey involved it'll be him vs HHH. If not, it's likely him vs Brock because that's the biggest match they can do. |

I agree with CyNick here. If they manage to get Ronda Rousey then it'll be Rock vs. Triple H with Stephanie McMahon and Rousey in their corners (possibly with the stipulation that if Rock wins, Rousey gets Steph for five minutes). If they can't get Ronda, then it will be Brock vs. Rock, and I think it will be for the title. I think they can do Triple H vs. Reigns in a personal issue getting resolved type thing.
I think the biggest mystery is who faces The Undertaker. The most intriguing heel left on the roster is Kevin Owens. It'd be interesting to know what Taker thinks about his presentation and whether or not he wants his mystique to be busted open by such an "everyman." But the promos Owens could cut heading into the match would be tremendous. He could even enlist Paul Heyman, the strategist behind the streak being broken initially. I guess Undertaker vs. Rusev is there, and Sheamus just had the title, so they might pigeon him into the spot. There's also the potential for another Bray Wyatt match, or something involving Kane. |
