Talk of WWE Legend The Rock returning for next year’s WrestleMania has increased lately and WWE has been dropping his name on television a lot more recently. It was previously reported that at The Skyscraper premiere last month, The Rock told Cathy Kelley that he “can’t wait to get back to a WWE ring.” As seen below:
“I can’t wait to get back to a WWE ring,” Rock said. “People always ask me ‘what’s it like being in a WWE ring?’ I always tell them there’s nothing like it. There’s nothing like inside a WWE ring because there’s a certain live crowd acumen that is second to none. That was always and will always be the best part of my job when it comes to wrestling. Whether I’m wresting a match or just giving a promo. That connection with the audience, there’s nothing like it.”
Due to the increasing speculation of The Rock possibly returning to The WWE next year, as early as now, Skybet has already released early betting odds for The 2019 Royal Rumble Match. The Rock is currently favored to win The Rumble Match as a 2/1 favorite, followed by Daniel Bryan (6/1), Seth Rollins (8/1) and Braun Strowman (9/1). Roman Reigns, John Cena and Finn Balor all have 12/1 odds of winning the match.
