Australians who are fans of professional wrestling are hopeful that The Rock, also known as Dwayne Johnson, will have a match in Perth next month. The fan-favorite made a surprise return to the wrestling ring in San Diego, much to the delight of the crowd. There are speculations that he might have a major match against Roman Reigns. At the recent ‘Raw’ event, the WWE organization had hinted at the return of a former champion, raising the fans’ expectations. Although Jinder Mahal appeared instead, The Rock eventually interrupted him and delivered his famous move, the People’s Elbow. As he was leaving the ring, The Rock left a teasing remark about his next appearance, asking fans where he should have dinner later that night – in a booth, at the bar, or at the head of the table.
On Monday night, The Rock made an impressive comeback at WWE Raw in San Diego, leaving fans in awe.
The highly anticipated return of the beloved WWE star seems imminent. Roman Reigns, also known as The Tribal Chief and the reigning WWE champion, is surely at the forefront of everyone’s minds. For years, fans have been hoping for a showdown between these two giants, and now the WWE organization has caught onto the idea, eager to make it a reality.
Interestingly, this epic clash might take place in Australia, as The Sunday Times recently reported that the Western Australia government reached out to WWE officials regarding the possibility of The Rock gracing Perth with his presence at the Optus Stadium event on February 24. The query from the Tourism WA staff was straightforward, inquiring about the power they hold in securing top talent like Dwayne Johnson for a standalone premium live event. Unfortunately, WWE’s response to this particular question has been withheld.
However, it might be wise for Australian fans to temper their excitement for now. While the idea of The Rock battling Reigns in their homeland sounds marvelous, it is more likely that the clash will occur at WrestleMania in April instead. So, while we eagerly await the return and potential face-off of these incredible WWE superstars, let’s keep our hopes in check and stay tuned for any further updates.
Australian fans are eagerly anticipating the appearance of a renowned movie star at the upcoming Optus Stadium event, known as The Elimination Chamber. This event serves as the WWE’s last Premium Live Event before their highly anticipated extravaganza in the springtime.
The Rock, a hugely popular movie star, last participated in a WWE ring during Wrestlemania 32 back in 2016. However, that particular match was only a brief six seconds long. His last prominent match, which took place against John Cena, occurred over a decade ago at Wrestlemania in 2013.
With a capacity to hold 60,000 spectators, Optus Stadium is expected to welcome thousands of enthusiastic fans for the Australian WWE event. Additionally, a special speaking engagement featuring The Undertaker is confirmed to take place the night before The Elimination Chamber at Fremantle Prison, further adding to the excitement surrounding the event.
