Let's Talk About | The Rock's Return On SmackDown



The Royal Rumble has been and gone, the build to WrestleMania 41 has been lacklustre and slow so far, us, the wrestling fans, love to make predictions, mine was that The Rock making a surprise appearance at the upcoming WrestleMania press conference, as a sense of deja vu after what happened last year when Cody got involved and then plans changed.

Then we got the blockbuster news that The Final Boss was going to appear on this episode of SmackDown, the expectation was he was going to announce New Orleans as the location for WrestleMania 42, which was correct. 

The Rock then called out Cody, he spoke about last year's WrestleMania and praised him for being a "great" Champion, he then cut to the chase by saying he wanted Cody's soul, is he the Undertaker now? Rock ended this segment by saying he will see Cody next Saturday in Toronto. 

The belief here is Cody will reject Rock's offer and someone else will join The Final Boss instead and possibly win the WWE Championship in April, the list of names here are: Drew McIntyre, John Cena and last but not least, CM Punk, who could be called "Corporate Man Punk" in the future, after selling his soul to Rock after cashing in on "The Favor" that Paul Heyman owes him.

All three names mentioned above have a link/history with Rock. Let's see what happens next at the Elimination Chamber. 

If Ya Smell....What The Final Boss......Is Cookin!
