The Rock WrestleMania 43 update

Dave Meltzer (WONF4W) weighs in on the logistical nightmare facing The Rock regarding a potential WrestleMania 43 match. With Dwayne scheduled to film Fast Forever, a production that demands months of shooting time, Meltzer argues that stepping into the ring is 'very unlikely' from a timing perspective. The WONF4W reporter notes that while the Saudis genuinely wanted The Rock to wrestle on their show next year, the calendar creates a massive hurdle. Could he fly to Saudi Arabia for an appearance? Sure. That is always an option. But competing is a different beast entirely. Meltzer points out that even if the financial offer from Saudi Arabia is giant enough to tempt Dwayne at this stage, the physical preparation remains unsolved. It is unclear where the training hours would come from amidst a heavy movie schedule. The Rock has too much pride to half-ass a performance, and history shows he trains his ass off every single time he returns. He does not do things in the ring without that prep work. So while an appearance is certainly possible to envision, Meltzer does not see him doing an actual match. The filming commitment essentially puts a bout out the window unless some miraculous scheduling alignment occurs, which seems improbable given the pride and professionalism Dwayne brings to his in-ring work.
