5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: Major changes to WrestleMania 37 main event revealed, WWE moving popular SmackDown star to NXT again?

#1. Hope isn't true: Complications with The Rock's return to WWE

Could we see this come to fruition?

While The Rock quietly retired from WWE and wrestling after WrestleMania 29 in 2013, the idea of him returning to the ring was never off the cards. For example, The Rock revealed himself that there were plans to have a match against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 30. Then, Triple H admitted that there were plans for him to face The Rock in the main event of WrestleMania 32 in front of the biggest crowd in WWE history.

There were then plans for The Rock to team up with Ronda Rousey in her WWE debut at WrestleMania 34. Now, Dave Meltzer of WON stated that there have been talks of a potential match for The Rock against Roman Reigns. Unfortunately, the complications of COVID-19 and uncertainty over the return of crowds makes his return complicated. Sportskeeda's Lennard Surrao wrote:

However, Meltzer noted that he doesn't see The Rock wrestling without a big crowd, and considering the unrelenting nature of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there is no certainty on when WWE could get the fans back in full capacity at its shows.

We hope this isn't true, but that's only from the optimistic lens of crowds returning by WrestleMania 37. It's an understandable and realistic complication. Why would WWE want to bring back The Rock for an empty arena show?
