#1. Hope isn't true: The Rock's return to WWE canceled?

There were several rumors about The Rock's return to WWE. According to original reports, The Great One was all set to make his return at Survivor Series 2021 - the 25th anniversary of his debut.

However, a report from Andrew Zarain on the Mat Men podcast revealed that The Rock will be in Australia during the pay-per-view, which means that he won't make an appearance:

“Little update on The Rock – he's apparently in Australia during Survivor Series. Now, does that mean he won’t be doing something at Survivor Series? They’re definitely gonna mention it. They’re definitely gonna talk about it. There will be maybe a video appearance or something that’s planned. But he’s not gonna be there," Andrew Zarian said.

Dave Meltzer of WON doubled down on this rumor, stating that the plans for The Brahma Bull's return to the company are "out of the window":

"The idea of an appearance/angle from Dwayne Johnson on what would have been the 25th anniversary of his WWF main promotion televised debut at this year’s Survivor Series are out the window,'' stated Meltzer.

We hope this isn't true because it would have been the perfect set-up for The Rock's WWE return and a potential WrestleMania program against Roman Reigns. However, given his schedule, it shouldn't come as a surprise.
