While it hasn't yet been confirmed, it's possible that WWE legend and future Hall of Famer, The Rock, will appear at this coming Sunday's WrestleMania 35 event, as he typically comes back around for the company's biggest show of the year.

By this point, it's safe to say that The Rock won't be having a match at Mania, simply because if he were going to do so, WWE would've announced it by now, as there's no way that they would allow a guy who was arguably their biggest star of all time do an impromptu match, unless it's going to be like the match he had with Erick Rowan back at the show's 32nd instalment.

If The Rock does show up, he'll more than likely do a talking segment, which could end with him giving someone a Rock Bottom and/or a People's Elbow, which would really please the live crowd at MetLife Stadium.


#3 Segment with Alexa Bliss

Back on the March 11 instalment of WWE Monday Night Raw, former multi-time Women's Champion Alexa Bliss announced that she will be the host of WrestleMania 35, although it's unclear if the role will lead to anything significant.

One way to ensure that the WrestleMania host has a memorable moment on the show would be to have Bliss do a segment with The Rock, who would show up as a surprise shortly after she welcomes everyone to the show.

This could end up leading to one of the heels who isn't booked on this year's WrestleMania card confronting The Rock, which would surely lead to them getting beaten down by "The Great One."

If WWE wants to open up their biggest show of the year with a bang, then having The Rock interrupt Alexa Bliss would be the right move.

#2 In Roman Reigns' Corner For Match Against Drew McIntyre

On the surface, this might not appear as something significant, as WWE has already had The Rock assist Roman Reigns in the past. However, if they're actually planning on doing a Reigns vs. Rock match at some point in the future, perhaps at WrestleMania 36 next year, then they could have "The People's Champion" attack Reigns after he presumably defeats Drew McIntyre on Sunday.

But during the match, the smart move might be to have The Rock be in Reigns' corner to show support before he hits him with a surprise attack. This would probably mean that The Rock would end up being the heel in his feud with Reigns, which might actually backfire.

However, there's an outside chance that if WWE does this, they'll do what they did during the Cena vs. Rock feud, where both men were babyfaces, which didn't have a negative impact on their two matches whatsoever.

#1 - Segment With Ronda Rousey

Even though this wouldn't exactly make him popular with the fans in attendance at MetLife Stadium, the truth is that The Rock has been a huge supporter of Ronda Rousey in WWE, as the two had one of the most memorable segments in the history of WrestleMania back at the show's 31st instalment.

Prior to the show's main event, The Rock could once again find himself alongside Rousey to offer words of encouragement prior to the first-ever women's WrestleMania main event. It's also possible that he could do the same thing with Becky Lynch if the company wants him to get a positive reaction from the audience, but because of his well-known friendship with the current Raw Women's Championship, it would make more sense for him to be pro-Rousey.

You also can't rule out the possibility that "The Great One" will endorse whoever ends up winning the show's main event before WrestleMania 35 goes off the air.
