4 Wrestling rumors we hope are true and 3 we hope aren't: Original plans for The Rock at Survivor Series, WWE replaces Nia Jax with RAW star?

#2. Hope isn't true: The reason why The Rock's WWE return was canceled

There's no denying that WWE's inability to get The Rock for Survivor Series was a disappointment. There were rumors that the company would begin the slow-burning build to an eventual Roman Reigns vs. The Rock match, but that didn't happen.

Perhaps that's not too bad, especially since Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar seems to be the direction for WrestleMania 38 at the AT&T Stadium. WWE will then perhaps look to book a Reigns vs. The Rock main event for WrestleMania 39 in Hollywood.

Ultimately, it's hard to say if The Brahma Bull will ever return to the company from retirement. He hasn't appeared on WWE TV for years, and his busy filming schedule always conflicts with a potential return to the ring.

According to Dave Meltzer on WOR, The Great One wasn't in the United States at the time of Survivor Series, and quarantine restrictions meant that there was no chance of him appearing in the first place:

"Dwayne is out of the country, and he can't come back. They are like, doing a movie, and he can't go back and forth because of quarantine. There was no way he would be at the show tonight," reported Dave Meltzer.

We hope this isn't true, but given that The Rock didn't appear, it seemed to be out of WWE's hands.
