Will The Rock Appear at Elimination Chamber in Australia?

Will The Rock make an appearance at Elimination Chamber this February in Australia? The West Australian published an article speculating about “Dwayne” making an appearance down under at Elimination Chamber. The event takes place on February 24th at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia. The article from the Western Australian notes the sale to Endeavour, the fact that The Rock is rumoured to be wrestling Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania, and that Australian officials view this is a massive opportunity.

The Rock showing up would be a triple win situation for everyone involved. But you could make the same argument that there was speculation he’d show up at Elimination Chamber last year on route to a Roman Reigns Wrestlemania match. That of course didn’t happen and we got Cody Rhodes main eventing against Roman instead of Rock.

I would love for The Rock to do something for the Australian crowd, and I’d love for him to face Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania. However, the Hollywood Writer’s strike ended recently. Which means that The Rock (and John Cena) will be back to work on their projects. If this strike extended longer, I think the likelihood of Rock appearing on WWE programming would be way higher than it is right now. I could be wrong and I hope that I am because WWE is better when The Rock is around.

Do you think Rock will appear at Elimination Chamber? Do you think he’ll be wrestling at Wrestlemania? Or do you think he’ll go onto make another Rampage movie or something of that ilk? Comment below your thoughts, and thank you for reading.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent

The State of Professional Wrestling - 11-29-21

I have a lot of thoughts on the state of professional wrestling in 2021. I think it’s great that AEW is around now and that they’re presenting a great product. I think WWE has the potential not be really boring but I think the consensus is that most of the time it’s just a really boring show. I cannot tell you the last time I sat through a 3 hour Raw. Oh wait, yes I can. September, 9th, 2013 and that’s only because I was at the damn show. WWE has a problem with stagnation. The product continually feels the same and I think there’s an obvious reason for that. WWE is too scripted. I think there’s a noticeable difference in the presentation between WWE and AEW. AEW feels like a legitimate sports show and WWE feels like broadway theatre without the music. I don’t think it’s a problem with the talent. When you go top-down, guys like Roman Reigns, Big E, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Finn Balor, Jeff Hardy and Kevin Owens are all main event players.

PWInsider additionally reported that The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate) and Anthony Henry have also been released. We have word on several All Elite Wrestling releases. On Monday, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful reported Dasha Kuret, Stu Grayson, Jose the Assistant, Jora Johl, Gravity, Slim J and Parker Boudreaux have been released. In addition to Sean’s announcements, PWInsider reported the release of The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate) and Anthony Henry. PWInsider also notes that AEW is "evaluating their talent roster and making cuts to benefit both the company and the talents." This is the second time Stu Grayson has been released from the company. Maybe the third time in the future will be the charm. I wonder what happens to Parker Boudreaux. He has the look of a future World Heavyweight Cha
