The Rock making his return at the upcoming Survivor Series PPV to set up a WrestleMania match with Roman Reigns next year is looking less likely by the minute.

Podcaster Andrew Zarian was the first to report that The Rock would be appearing at Survivor Series, which will mark 25 years since his WWE debut in 1996.

To update this situation, The Rock is scheduled to be in Australia at the time of the upcoming show. The Rock could always record a video message to commemorate the occasion, but don’t look for him to be gracing the Barclays Center next month.

The Rock vs. Roman Reigns has long been talked about as a potential dream match for WWE. There were informal talks about this match taking place at WrestleMania 38, but sources close to the Great One indicate he won’t be wrestling in 2022.

Should this dream match ever happen, it would take place the following year when WrestleMania 39 hits Los Angles.

Roman Reigns is scheduled to face Brock Lesnar later this month at WWE Crown Jewel from Saudi Arabia.
