He has been an electrifying addition to the event, and we have an update on The Rock’s Road to WrestleMania schedule.
Or rather, some of his appearances along the way.
There had been some buzz, as far back as last year, that perhaps we would see The Great One in Perth for Elimination Chamber.
After all, WWE does like to bring in some special Superstars when it’s a big appearance or a major first, as this past weekend was.
However the event has come and gone, and there was no Rock to be seen.
But, if you are hoping to see the newest TKO board member, you might be in luck.
Update On The Rock’s Road To WrestleMania Schedule
According to SEScoops, The Rock’s road to WrestleMania has three currently confirmed appearances.
Confirmed by The Rock himself, as a matter of fact.
Rock will be alongside the Bloodline when SmackDown arrives in Glendale, Arizona for the March 1st show.
He will then be in Dallas with his family for the March 8th edition, as well as in Memphis on the 15th.
So, for a part time Superstar, he’s currently set to be on television for three out of five blue brand shows in March.
At which point, there would only be three more shows before WrestleMania, and it seems likely we could see him in at least two more.
The penultimate SmackDown-the final show in March-is in Connecticut. Following that, the blue brand is in Philadelphia for the final show plus the Hall of Fame ceremony on April 5th.
As of now, the only show Rock might miss? March 22nd in Milwaukee.
Some notes along his Road to WrestleMania…
First, Cody Rhodes did challenge Rock to a match during the Grayson Waller Effect in Perth. That doesn’t seem like a SmackDown match…but stay tuned.
Second, if people in WWE are worried about head to head competition…the NCAA basketball tournament begins in a few weeks. That Milwaukee show will be up against the first round games.
Not saying they would bring Rock in to pop ratings. If anything, perhaps WWE concedes the date and gives the Hollywood celebrity a week off.
