Rock confirmed for Wrestlemania 30?

2013-02-18T02:45:00.000-08:00

After recent rumours that Wrestlemania 30 is going to be held in Mercedez Benz Superdome in New Orleans, another huge rumour has now caught up with every WWE lover on the internet.

According to WrestlingInc, Rock has agreed to not only participate but even committed to work in next year’s event. According to the WrestlingInc,

“WWE Champion The Rock has committed to working next year’s WrestleMania 30 event. Rock’s current run is expected to end in April as he will be heading off to Hungary and Croatia to film Hercules.”

This is great news for WWE and The Rock’s fans as the much rumoured feud between Rock and Brock Lesnar seems a possibility now. After Lesnar signed a two year contract with WWE, there were talks of a Summerslam or WM30 match between Lesnar and The Rock.

However, it seems that The Rock has a very tight 2013 schedule ahead of him and like last year, he will not be seen around until Wrestlemania. Hence, the possibility of a Rock and Lesnar feud will most likely happen in WM30.

A match in Summerslam however would have seemed extremely fitting as The Rock lost to Lesnar in the same stage nearly a decade back.

2013-02-13T07:00:00.000-08:00

CM Punk and Paul Heyman left the ring with The Rock lying in the middle of it. Moments later, Damien Sandow entered the ring with The Rock. Sandow went face to face with The Rock and questioned him about being the champion. He told the fans that they are no good, and that he does not care that The Rock cares for them.

In response to this, The Rock offered Damien Sandow a gift and then hit him with the Rock Bottom, following that up with the People’s Elbow.

As The Rock made his way to the back, he came face to face with John Cena, who was going out for his dark match against Dolph Ziggler. Cena won that match.

CM Punk tops Power Rankings

2013-02-09T02:54:00.000-08:00

The recent edition of the ESPN Power Rankings saw CM Punk take the number 1 position followed by Brock and Del Rio. Mark Henry and Chris Jericho occupied the next two spots.

The absence of The Rock in RAW led to his rankings slip to the 10th and Cena still continues in the 8th position.

Speaking of Punk, he has gone a step ahead when it comes to treating Thomas Dotterer. For those of you who aren’t aware, Thomas Dotterer is a 77 year old CM Punk fan who recently came into the news after his store was robbed. Despite the robbery, the worst news of the week for him was CM Punk losing to The Rock at Royal Rumble. This news went viral and Punk noticed Dotterer and followed him up on phone and spoke to him. According to TMZ, Punk even promised to give him a ringside seat and a special backstage pass for an upcoming RAW live event in Syracuse.

Rock and Brock may appear in Summerslam 2013

2013-02-08T02:53:00.000-08:00

The news was seen in Wrestling Observer Newsletter, where Dave Meltzer wrote:

Right now, there is talk of using both Lesnar and Rock at SummerSlam. They want the Hollywood community to be part of the SummerSlam festivities, and Rock to a great extent and Lesnar to a lesser extent makes it seem to those who aren’t big wrestling fans like it’s a big event.

There are talks that we could possibly see a Summerslam repeat between The Rock and Brock Lesnar. If WWE somehow does convince The Rock to participate in this PPV, it would surely be another blockbuster event.
