The Rock has arrived in Dallas
Dwayne Johnson arrived late last night in Dallas to start preparation for WrestleMania.
Johnson’s role on the show has not been announced and on Twitter he noted that last night at 2 a.m. he was in the stadium still working on what he was doing on the show.
Johnson wrote on twitter: “2 a.m. and still working on the show. Tomorrow night this stadium will be filled with 100,000 strong. what a night we have planned.”
Johnson has been working on the “Baywatch” movie but committed to the show publicly months ago. For insurance reasons, he wasn’t able to wrestle a match on the show as he and HHH one year ago was scheduled to be one of the main events.
At one point it looked like it was going to be difficult to even be a part of the show due to the filming of “Baywatch,” but he was able to make that happen.
It was noted to us a few weeks ago when most of the plans for the show were being formulated that Johnson was going to do what he wanted to do, and at the time he hadn’t told the company yet exactly what his plans were.
