If Rock/Punk rematch at EC, they should add a stip of some kind. Not to say another match between these two wouldn't be big enough on its own, but very curious what stip they would use. No Holds Barred would do, but wondering how extreme in the ring would Rock be willing to go? Seems they would protect Rock more than the others considering he is the biggest star on the show.

Good question. I have no doubt Rock could go, but I'm sure he still wants to stay away from pushing it and damaging his Hollywood career.

Anyone can tell me if The Rock on Raw next night?

[Dexter Morgan]

Pretty sure Rock will be on Raw tomorrow night, being the last Raw before the Rumble.

I'm surprised at the poll results.

Rock's first loss since returning will be to CM Punk? You guys really think that will happen?

[Dexter Morgan]

Rock returned two years ago. Are we calling it a comeback every time Rock returns and should just assume he will his first win every time? And yes I do think he will win, but not because it's his "first match back".

Since he returned to in-ring action 1 year ago, he has not lost a match. He's been literally unbeatable.

A lot of these newer, younger fans have never seen him lose.

Should his first loss come against CM Punk at the Royal Rumble? It's better if he loses at Wrestlemania.

His Armageddon 99 ovation is bigger than all 5 of those.

You can barely hear Finkel when he comes out.

that doesn't matter really, you can still hear the crowd, in all five of those the crowd somewhat dwarf the pop, espicially in the first one you can't even hear the crowd when the rock stands on the stands on the ropes and smells the air.

this one was just added days ago so the 4th and the 25th could be added soon
also there is no way he would miss the 11th and 18th march shows esp if he is facing Cena

he was advertised for the 25th. Today WWE and local officials at AA arena removed him from appearing and is no longer advertised for the Dallas show on the 25th

WWE part-time star The Rock revealed why re-capturing the WWE Title is important to him in a new interview with WWE Magazine. It's a statement that has been missing from WWE television leading up to the Royal Rumble PPV.

"It starts with recognizing what the WWE Championship represents to me," Rock said in the February 2013 issue. "Every time I hold that title over my head in victory, it not only signifies the fact that I have delivered the absolute best entertainment that I could to the WWE Universe, but that I'm taking a moment to live an experience that all the generations of wrestlers in my family strived to achieve.

Rock continued, "There is no other award that I could receive that's as deeply ingrained in my blood and history as the WWE Championship - and that's why it means so much to me."

At the same time, Rock said that after his first WWE Title reign - which came in 1998 - he decided that he would never allow his possession of or lack of the WWE Title define his career.

"After my first WWE Championship run came to an end, I made a conscious decision that night that I would work harder than any other Superstar in the locker room to become the type of WWE entertainer who, if I never had another championship run again, it would not define my career. I never wanted to rely on a title run for success."

Rock's next statement reflects his recent approach to mixing "entertainment" with "seriousness." Rock concluded, "My goal was to get to a place where I relied only on what I could bring to the table in terms of being entertaining and having a one-of-a-kind - and electrifying - connection with all of the WWE Universe."
