Now that Triple H seems to be facing Roman and Lesnar just faced Cena and Taker. They need to sellout the arena and this is honestly the biggest match they could do. Hell, throw Austin in there as the ref.

Rock can't wrestle until that insurance thing has been resolved. If they thought he was going to be able to wrestle then they would've told people as soon as possible. Instead right now it's just him making an appearance at Wrestlemania.

I've never understood the interest in putting on this match at Mania - I know they had that match at SummerSlam when Rock was leaving, but otherwise I don't see much issue in terms of history. Is Rock vs. Brock really going to attract enough external attention to justify the move? More so than Brock wrestling anyone at all, or Rock for that matter? Is there money on the table for them to work together at Mania?
I'd honestly think they'd be better placed booking something like Brock vs. Ambrose and hyping the hell out of Ambrose between now and Mania. Might not get much extra casual notice, but would damn sure give a more interesting programme, better match and potentially a new star they can actually use on their regular programming. I know it won't happen, I'm just wasting my life writing things like this...

The Rock is one of the biggest names in entertainment and Brock is easily the most legit badass in wrestling. Them having slight history together is all the storyline they need, especially with Heyman and Rock on the mic to sell it. This match would make big money easily, so it's worth it from a business standpoint. |

Instead right now it's just him making an appearance at Wrestlemania. Yeah. SAG is going to make his competing again very challenging, especially since he tore his abdomen last time he wrestled. Their priority is that he stays healthy to fulfill his film commitments, and the insurance isn't going to want to cover a guy who is also participating in something as physically strenuous as pro wrestling. |
