The Rock lightly teased that he'd fly down to Australia to lay the smackdown on Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes and Triple H wanted to make Dwayne Johnson's status perfectly clear for the fans down under.

Speaking on the Xav & Michelle Show, Triple H let the people know that "The People's Champ" would in fact not be in attendance for Elimination Chamber.

\“You are not (going to see The Rock at Elimination Chamber). I’m not gonna spin that because I don’t want people expecting that and not see that. This show will be spectacular and nobody will miss The Rock. As this all came to be, his schedule is quite tight as you can imagine. So we have him for a lot of events, unfortunately, this was not one of them.”

The Rock may not be in Perth but the star power is powerful for Elimination Chamber. In addition to Triple H, it appears that Australia will get a special appearance from The Undertaker at some point during the PLE. Plus, major names like Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins are lined up for a Grayson Waller Effect segment. Additionally, Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, LA Knight and Randy Orton are all on hand to compete on the card.

Rhea Ripley will more than likely get a "Rock" like reaction as the Women's World Champion is returning to her home country to defend gold against Nia Jax.

The absense of The Rock will be somewhat bittersweet considering his recent return to his 1998 aura. This past Friday on WWE SmackDown The Rock took some specific verbal jabs at Salt Lake City, so one could only imagine that he would have some gems in store for the people in Perth.
