The Rock to Appear on the RAW after WrestleMania XXVII

[Troy]

As noted before, The Rock will be returning to RAW the night after WrestleMania 27 in Atlanta, Georgia. Here is WWE’s official release:

“Just 24 hours after WrestleMania XXVII Host Dwayne “The Rock†Johnson takes the reins of The Show of Shows, “the most electrifying man in entertainment†will be appearing on Monday Night Raw, live in Atlanta. Tune in to Raw at 9/8 CT on Monday, April 4 – the night after WrestleMania – to find out what The People’s Champ is cookin’.â€

This is encouraging since it means that he won't host WM and then be gone for the next year or two. Will be good having him on to host the fallout from the PPV. This does give me some more hope that he will play a role in the WWE Championship match.

Good move by WWE to advertise this a long time in advance should help give this RAW a huge rating especially if WrestleMania is any good.

I have to agree with you KFC, smart promotional tactic on WWE's part. No matter how un-exciting WrestleMania might end up being, the mere fact the Rock is going to be there will get the crowd going, and he'll keep them entertained. I'll be looking to purchase WrestleMania on PPV as I want to see whats going to happen.

It's pretty amazing how one man like the Rock can carry the WWE and in turn spark old fans who quit watching to come back, take a peak and actually start watching wrestling again.
