Dwayne Johnson’s potential astonishing appearance at the show has been the subject of intense speculation. Despite the lack of official confirmation from both him and WWE officials, the rumors persist.
In a new report by top wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, fresh insights have emerged regarding The Rock’s role at this weekend’s SummerSlam Premium Live Event. Meltzer, a respected figure in the wrestling community, has been extensively covering The Rock’s potential WWE comeback for a considerable period.

This intense rivalry is set to culminate in a “Tribal Combat” match at SummerSlam this weekend, where The Rock is rumored to make an appearance.
Meltzer illustrates, “I don’t know if Dwayne Johnson will come back, but if he’s going to do it for something, it’s going to be for 50,000 fans in Detroit, which is this show. I don’t know what he’s doing again, I know there’s a strike on [In Hollywood] and everything, but he’s [The Rock] always doing something.”

Throughout the year, rumors of The Rock’s WWE return have circulated, particularly in relation to The Bloodline storyline. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer has previously commented on the status of “The Great One,” particularly around the time of WrestleMania 39.
According to Meltzer, Triple H and other WWE executives expressed interest in bringing The Rock back. However, the iconic wrestler cited a lack of time to get in ring shape as a reason for his absence. Additionally, The Rock’s busy schedule in Hollywood also played a role in his decision to not appear in WWE.
