WWE News: Very Latest on the Rock Appearing on WWE TV Prior to WrestleMania 28

Earlier this week, F4Wonline.com (via WrestleZone.com) reported that The Rock is set to appear on Monday Night Raw at some point before the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. 

While that was great news for Rock fans, the real anticipation will come after the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber, when all eyes are set on Wrestlemania 28 and The Rock’s match with John Cena. 

Since The Rock is only a WWE part-timer, many fans are wondering how often we’ll see him on WWE TV for the buildup to his epic encounter with Cena. 

Well, it appears as if we may have the answer. 

From WrestleZone.com:

The Rock is expected to appear live on WWE programming for nearly every week beginning at the end of February to build to his WrestleMania 28 match with John Cena.

The Rock should undoubtedly appear on Raw every week during the build to his match with Cena. 

I realize that The Rock is a busy man and that he probably has scheduling conflicts at the moment. However, if he truly wants to get everything he can out of this match, he’ll do everything he can to make sure that he shows up on Raw each and every week once the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view is in the rearview mirror. 

In a perfect world, I’d love to see The Rock show up live and in person each week, even if his appearances are brief. However, in the real world, I know that won’t be the case. 

The Rock will probably “bring it via satellite” a few times and bring it live a couple of times as well, and I’m fine with that. What I don’t want to see, however, is an episode of Raw that features nothing from The Rock. 

His WrestleMania 28 match with Cena is being billed as the biggest match in wrestling history, but it’s going to lose a lot of its luster if one week goes by without so much as an appearance from him. 

The Rock vs. Cena should be huge, but it won’t be if the build to it isn’t as great as it potentially could be.
