Rumors Circulate on WWE Stars The Rock and Roman Reigns Plus Survivor Series and Brock Lesnar’s Schedule
WWE Survivor Series Update: The Rock Won’t Return, But Fans Anticipate Roman Reigns
The Rock’s Absence at Survivor Series 2023
Rumors recently swirled that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson might make an appearance at WWE’s Survivor Series event on November 29. However, El-Balad reports that The Rock is not currently in discussions to return for the event. Steve Carrier of Ringside News confirmed that there is no internal talk within WWE regarding The Rock’s involvement this year.
The Rock’s debut in WWE took place at the 1996 Survivor Series, and a comeback this year would mark a nostalgic full-circle moment for fans. His last appearance in WWE was during John Cena’s controversial heel turn at the Elimination Chamber event in March. The Rock’s current commitments to promoting “The Smashing Machine” and his upcoming film project with Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio indicate a busy schedule that doesn’t accommodate a return to wrestling soon.
Roman Reigns Set for Survivor Series Spotlight
While The Rock won’t grace the Survivor Series stage, Roman Reigns is reportedly set to feature prominently. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Reigns will wrap up his filming for the “Street Fighter” movie in time for the event. Dave Meltzer notes that Reigns is scheduled to participate in a significant match at Survivor Series, potentially a War Games showdown.
This feud aligns Reigns and The Usos against Seth Rollins’ group, The Vision, featuring Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed. This ongoing rivalry, fueled by Paul Heyman’s previous betrayal of Reigns, promises to escalate during the event.
Brock Lesnar’s Limited WWE Future
Following his dominant performance against John Cena at the Wrestlepalooza event, Brock Lesnar’s next steps in WWE remain a topic of speculation. According to Fightful Select, Lesnar is not expected to return to the WWE stage until major events in 2026, such as the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 42.
El-Balad reports that internal discussions suggest Bron Breakker could be a future opponent for Lesnar. The narrative might involve a younger Superstar eliminating Lesnar in the Royal Rumble, potentially igniting a new rivalry.
While The Rock’s and Lesnar’s schedules suggest prolonged absences, WWE remains poised to deliver an exciting Survivor Series event, focusing on the intriguing storyline involving Roman Reigns and his impending clash against The Vision.
