Update On The Rock Possibly Returning To WWE During SAG-AFTRA Strike

With the SAG-AFTRA strike in the United States still ongoing, The Rock finds himself with plenty of free time at the moment which has caused some to ask if the Brahma Bull could finally make his return to WWE TV, especially after The Rock recently interacted with Grayson Waller on Twitter.

While The Rock doesn't have any acting commitments at the moment, Brian Gewirtz would be surprised if the 51-year-old appeared on WWE TV during the SAG-AFTRA strike. Gewirtz would be more shocked if The Rock never appears on WWE TV again, however.

"First of all, The Rock does look at his social media. I don't know how much you can cover when you have millions upon millions and millions of followers but somehow, he saw the Grayson Waller thing. We haven't discussed it (Johnson getting involved with The Bloodline). I personally don't think - obviously, there are bigger things going on in the world in general but even in the entertainment landscape, I would be - let's just say this, even though WWE is not affiliated with any of the guilds and not affiliated with SAG, I still think it's a bad look for a prominent actor like The Rock, (John) Cena, Batista to appear on an entertainment program while there's a strike going on, while people are not getting paid and are striking and picketing every single day," Gewirtz said on the Masked Man Show.

"Yes, it's not the same but it's also like, appearing on television in an entertainment capacity, it's just not a great look when there's a strike going on, for one thing. So I would say this, I would be shocked if The Rock appeared anytime soon while the strike is going on, but I would be equally, if not more shocked, if The Rock never appeared in a WWE ring again, and figuring in this storyline at some point too. But everything, it needs to be crafted and discussed and thought about and if The Rock - again, we've never talked about this. Just my opinion. If The Rock all of a sudden tweeted something about The Bloodline, it's not like if I tweeted something about The Bloodline. Who gives a s**t? If he tweeted something about The Bloodline, the gates of hell are open. It's hard to close the door again once you do it. Once you dip your toe into the pool again, it's on. 

"You can tweet Grayson Waller and he can tweet back and it can be a funny little exchange and you can mention it again. But there's not gonna be this pitchfork-like mentality of what are you waiting for? Do it. You started it. So you can have fun with that sort of thing but once you start doing The Bloodline thing, then it's time to go and that’s why you gotta be very, very judicious and careful about it in my opinion."

The Rock hasn't appeared on WWE TV since SmackDown's premiere on FOX back in 2019. There have been constant rumours about WWE wanting to book The Rock vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania but the match is yet to take place.
