5 legends who might return to WWE in 2022

#2. WWE legend The Rock

The Rock is arguably the greatest WWE Superstar of all time, but he has not appeared on WWE television for a few years. The Brahma Bull's last WWE match came in 2016 when he defeated Erick Rowan at WrestleMania 32. However, he made an appearance on SmackDown in October 2019, taking part in a segment with Becky Lynch and Baron Corbin.

In the past few months, reports have suggested that WWE wants The Rock to return to face his cousin, the Universal Champion Roman Reigns, at WrestleMania 39 in Hollywood. Although the ten-time world champion denied these rumors, he did not close the door on a possible WWE return in the future:

"There is no truth to that right now, possibly down the road we will see. We stay very close, myself and Roman Reigns, and I'm very happy and very proud of the work that he's doing," he told Andrew Freund.

Despite his busy filming schedule, The Rock might return to WWE in 2022 to confront Reigns. The Head of the Table has faced several legends in the past few months, including Edge, John Cena, and Brock Lesnar. The Great One could join that list in the upcoming months.
