Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson made a shocking return to WWE during 2/2 episode of WWE SmackDown. Cody Rhodes seeming gave his WrestleMania Main Event spot to The Rock.
Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio is reporting that The Rock deal with TKO’s Board includes the WrestleMania Match against Roman Reigns.
“When (Rock) made the deal on January 3 to come in (facing Roman at WrestleMania) was part of the deal. Why Cody Rhodes won the Royal Rumble is a question that I cannot answer because nobody will answer it for me. “
“(It) played out the way they wanted it to play out. The plan as of Friday night was Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes and we’ll see how it plays out because now they’re trying to turn it into a story and we’ll see how the story goes.”
Meltzer on possibilities on fans booing The Rock vs Roman match
“I don’t know how much do they care because the’re going to be getting more eyeballs for this match than any match they’ve ever had, they’re going to have more sponsorship revenue based on the fact Dwayne’s wrestling than any match they’ve had so they may go in there and just go, ‘let ’em boo!’ It’s the biggest money match that we can ever make and that’s the match that we’re going to make.” (H/T: F4Wonline.com)
