WWE Wants Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson To Appear On SmackDown’s FOX Debut

Despite the list of Hall of Famers and Legends appearing for SmackDown's 20th Anniverary show, WWE is still attempting to secure an appearance from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Much like their recent RAW Reunion show, WWE is inviting a number of former Superstars, Hall of Famers, and Legends for SmackDown’s upcoming FOX debut. The show also coincicdes with SmackDown’s 20th Anniversary.

Kurt Angle, Lita, Booker T, Hulk Hogan, Mick Foley, Trish Stratus, Jerry Lawler, Goldberg, Sting, Ric Flair, and Goldberg are just some of the names already announced. 

But they aren’t the only people WWE are hoping will be in attendance.

WWE is still attempting to secure Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for the blue brand’s FOX debut, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. 

It’s reported that whether Dwayne Johnson appears or not all comes down to his schedule. WWE apparently reached out to him a while back in order to try and book him, but nothing was confirmed at the time. Unfortunately, that still seems to be the case.

According to Meltzer, Johnson has not yet committed to appearing, despite admitting he misses the squared circle.

Given his popularity and acting career, finding time to appear on the show he named may not be as easy as he, or the WWE Universe, would like.

SmackDown will debut on FOX on October 4th from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
