The Rock: Social Media Presence
One of the intriguing aspects of this discussion revolves around The Rock’s social media activity. With millions of followers, The Rock’s posts and interactions are closely watched.
Gewirtz mentioned that Johnson noticed the Grayson Waller incident on social media. However, the broader question remains: Would The Great One acknowledge Roman Reigns amidst these strikes?
Gewirtz believes that while The Rock does monitor his social media, the sheer volume of interactions makes it challenging to address everything.
Moreover, with significant global events and the entertainment industry’s landscape, it might not be the right time for The Rock to engage in WWE-related discussions.

The Implications of a Strike
The ongoing strikes present a complex scenario. WWE isn’t directly affiliated with the guilds or SAG, but the optics of prominent actors like The Rock, John Cena, or Batista appearing on entertainment programs during a strike can be problematic.
It sends a mixed message when other professionals aren’t receiving their dues and are actively protesting.

Will The Rock Ever Return to WWE?
Gewirtz expressed that he would be surprised if The Rock made an appearance during the strikes. However, he also believes that it’s unlikely The Rock will never step into a WWE ring again.
The storyline and the return would need careful planning and consideration. A mere tweet from The Rock about The Bloodline, for instance, would open a Pandora’s box of fan expectations and speculations.
