As WWE SummerSlam Night 2 got underway at MetLife Stadium, talk behind the scenes has centered on whether The Rock could make an appearance during tonights main event between John Cena and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Fightful Select reported that nothing has been confirmed and neither top talent nor staff have been briefed on any plans for him to appear. WWE is deliberately keeping the details of the main event under wraps, distributing information only to those directly involved. Much like Saturdays show, the company is operating on a strict need-to-know basis when it comes to the biggest storyline moments.
While The Rocks name is not listed on any official production run sheets, that historically has not ruled out a surprise appearance. WWE has a long track record of pulling off last-minute shocks by keeping major names off internal documents until the moment theyre needed.
With Cenas retirement tour in full swing and his babyface turn now complete, the addition of The Rock could shift the narrative heading into the final stretch of the year. Even without confirmation, the secrecy surrounding the match has only fueled speculation about whether fans will see one of the biggest names in wrestling history step back into the spotlight tonight.
Do you think WWE is preparing for a last-minute Rock appearance at SummerSlam, or is this all part of keeping the main event finish under wraps? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
