Backstage News on The Rock vs. John Cena Rematch, The Rock on RAW Soon?

[Chris]

Rock and Hogan were billed as Once in a lifetime aswell, didn't stop WWE from doing a rematch little under a year later. Roles reversed ofcourse.

True, and after I posted that I really don't see anyway around Cena/Rock again. Cena/Rock, & Brock/Taker are very likely, just don't see Punk in the title scene come 'Mania time this year.

 

[Deezy]

Punk could get that vaunted match against Austin, if Austin's knee is good to go by then.

Still a pipe dream, but why would both be burying eachother online if they aren't working up towards a confrontation.

 

[Dale]

Wasn't Rock/Hogan billed as Icon vs Icon? Wouldn't surprise me at all if they did the 'Once in a lifetime' line at some point though.

 

[PHX]

Yeah was Icon vs Icon and a dream match not really a one time only billing. But reason a second match between them worked is because they switched roles and the feud was totally different. Don't see Rock being heel and they don't seem to have the balls to make Cena heel. Not to mention their rematch was on a lesser PPV.

Read something somewhere, i don't recall where so i don't have the actual source, that all the Punk/Austin back and forth is for the WWE '13 video game since both are prominently featured and doing a lot of promotional work for the game......

The 3 "big" matches at WM 29 IMO will be Rock/Cena 2 (for the title with Cena winning the Rumble to get a title shot and Rock winning the strap from Punk at Rumble) HHH/Brock 2 (Trips going over this time) and Punk/Taker ( the idea being the only way for Punk to get "respect" is to try and break the streak)

 

[Andrew]

Punk/Rock needs to happen with Punk beating The Rock, Taker wins Rumble... CM/Taker at Mania.

That there is already buyrates.

 

[Schmidty]

I was hearing rumors of Orton turning heel. So what about Orton vs The Rock?

 

[Tapout]

No more "Big feel matches"? Really? If Taker wants to work Mania this year, they EASILY have the go to huge match of Cena vs. Undertaker. I can't be the only one that wants to see that. I'm pretty sure they can build some big matches for this WrestleMania.

As for Cena/Rock again, no. No no no. The first match sucked, and the buildup wasn't anything special until the last month due to Rocks gaps in appearances.

 

[Deezy]

HBK comes back to face Rock.

Jsut as likely as most of this speculation.

 

[Troy]

I don't think they need to have another match and it would take a bit away from their previous "Once in a lifetime match". Earlier in the year I didn't mind the suggestion of them having a best of three series with the second match happening at Summerslam and the rubber match occuring at WM29. Now that they haven't had that extra match I don't see the point in them having the rematch at WM next year. Keep Rock and Cena seperate and use them to create two massive matches for WM rather than just one.

Put Rock against Brock, Taker or Punk at WM29.

As for Rock coming back to RAW it would boost ratings a bit but if they bring him back it has to mean something and has to lead to something. Bringing him for a promo one week may bring WWE some short term gain but it does nothing in the long term for ratings.

 

[The New F'n Show]

I don't want to see Rock-Cena 2 but I don't see another Mania opponent for him. I think Punk-Taker and Brock-Triple H happen so that would leave this match. I could be way off the mark but that's what it looks like to me.

 

[AF.]

No rematch because I wasn't really a fan of Rock/Cena once in a lifetime. It didn't live up to my expectations.

I'd rather see Cena/Taker and Lesnar/Rock.

 

[Prodigy]

The speculation is annoying me. My gullible friend hates Cena and keeps crying to me thinking it will actually happen again...........

 

[Darth Shizzel]

I don't want to see a rematch at Wrestlemania at the Rumble would be the better choice in my view but the only other thing they could is a triple threat match between Cena, Rock and Punk to make the match bigger since the once in a life time was a one on one match.

 

[Cena's Jeans Shorts]

If Cena / Rock is booked again for Wrestlemania, I'd watch it. I thought that match was decent enough, and while Rock hasn't been wrestling over the last few years, I think he still has plenty left. The guy was a fantastic entertainer in the ring, not a technician, but a fantastic worker. I think if both guys are healthy and given the storyline history along with last year's big match, it would be a draw again.
