The Rock Added To First WWE TV Tapings Of 2013

[Lockard 23]

The Rock is awesome. The entertainment value of any show goes up twenty notches when he's on it. I don't concur with the interference against Ryback, though.

 

[Leo C]

I just think it'd be interesting if he interfered because it'd be at least somewhat different. If it's not that, what will it be? I don't think they're doing a clean finish, and if the Rock interferes it'll be more interesting than a random one by the Shield, as Rock can say he wanted to have Punk at the Rumble or something.

 

[Lockard 23]

I thought about that logic since I can't think of any other reason why he'd interfere, but I don't see it happening. It would indeed be funny and interesting to see it happen though if Rock was the one to stop Ryback from finally beating Punk. If there's any possibility that Brock-Ryback (slightly rumored back around HIAC) could happen at WM, it could be that Heyman calls on Brock's help to cost Ryback the title.

 

[Senhor Perfect]

They could very well use Heyman's connection to Lesnar to do something. Whats the end game though? Brock as Punk's muscle? I don't think that's a viable option. Create tension between all of them and have a triple threat match for the title at Wrestlemania? Brock vs Punk vs Ryback? Only time will tell.

True, Ryback/Lesnar could start with Brock interfering and costing Ryback the title. Nice call.

I see it as simply Brock being connected to Heyman just like Punk, and so he does Heyman a favor by making sure Punk retains the belt. This pisses Ryback off, they feud and fight at Wrestlemania, Ryback wins and gets put over, end of story. Brock would have no interest in the belt and he and Punk should remain heels and not fight each other.

My care cup is empty for The Rock at the minute.

However that's probs me being a pessimist.

 

[Lockard 23]

Now that I think about it, Rock costing Ryback the title is indeed the right way to go. I was trying to recall an example of when this sort of thing has happened before, and I remember it being the finals of the IC Title tournament between Farrooq and Owen Hart, where Austin helped Owen win the belt, only because it was Owen who he wanted to face for the belt (Owen was the one who injured his neck after all), not Farrooq. Similarly, it'd be interesting to see Rock cost Ryback the title because he wants it to be Punk who he takes the title off of.

Rock on SD will be a reason to actually watch it, nice.

The fact The Rock returns in 15 days has me pumped this morning.
