#2 The Rock returns
This Survivor Series event would mark the 20th anniversary of the Rock in the WWE.
Dwayne Johnson may have since morphed himself into a mainstream star in the years that followed his debut as an eager, exuberant and clean-cut babyface all those years ago, but one thing that hasn’t changed, however, is his appetite for the spotlight and an elevated sense of occasion.
Given that we last saw him at WrestleMania 32 earlier this year, the Rock is due a surprise appearance to electrify the audience. Co-incidentally, the WWE have also been advertising videos of the Great One in the lead up to the event.
Perhaps we’re reading too much into it, but can you resist the poetic equity espoused by having the Rock interfere on behalf of the brand that was spawned off his catchphrase? Especially after the flak he received in pro-wrestling circles for ‘burying’ Bray Wyatt at Mania, could he be looking to give him the rub to balance the scales?
Survivor Series beckons.
