WWE news: The Rock to make SHOCK return at Ronda Rousey WrestleMania debut

Bookies have been suggesting that Dwayne The Rock Johnson could make a surprise return at WrestleMania and might even wrestle a match - of course that bout would be very short, just like his last fight against Erick Rowan at WrestleMania 32.

According to the Inquisitr, The Great One may feature in Rousey’s Mixed Tag Team Match either as an enforcer or even as a Special Guest Referee.

WWE initially wanted to have The Brahma Bull team up with the UFC legend to take on the power couple of Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.

The Rock and Rousey humiliated the on-screen RAW Commissioner and the 14-time world champion at WrestleMania 31 but Johnson is in no position to compete due to Hollywood commitments.

Therefore, 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle was chosen to team up with ‘Rowdy’ instead, but The Rock may still get involved in the action.

It is also possible that the 10-time world champion will feature in an entertaining segment.

Plans to have him bash a concert by Elias and sing in front of the crowd have not yet been completely scrapped.

The Rock has had some legendary WrestleMania matches in the past against the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena and Hulk Hogan.

The ex-WWE Champion left Vince McMahon’s promotion to pursue an acting career and has now become one of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood.

He has performed in various blockbuster hits such as Furious 7, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
