#4. The Rock

The Rock competed in a six seconds squash match against Erick Rowan at Wrestlemania 32.

The Rock has not wrestled a match more than 30 seconds since his 2013 clash against John Cena. Since he suffered an injury during that bout, the great one refused to wrestle again - at least in longer matches.

However, The Rock has been a huge favourite to return to WWE at the upcoming Royal Rumble, win it and headline Wrestlemania 35 against Brock Lesnar in a Universal Championship match. The rumours that Saudi Arabia is offering WWE tons of money to have a rematch between The Rock and Lesnar at WWE's show in the Kingdom further solidifies the possibility of The Rock's return.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Even though the fans might have different opinions on this, WWE always has been keen on a Rock vs. Brock rematch. Thus, if The Rock's Hollywood schedule allows him to compete, we could see the great one returning to the ring very soon.
