Triple H Versus The Rock For Wrestlemania 31 Being Discussed By WWE
No, Brock Lesnar and John Cena will not go for a fourth fight.
No, the Undertaker is not digging himself from his slumber.
No, we will not have Sting making debut in the biggest event in wrestling.
Instead, even better, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is coming back full force against his old nemesis, Triple H.
Smackdown will be having its 15th anniversary this Friday that will air on Syfy. Since the show was pre-taped, spoilers are ripe per Cage Side Seats that there is a juicy backstage confrontation between The Rock, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. The Rock and Triple H are apparently going back and forth on who has the upper hand between the two legendary fighters. The taunting escalates until both fighters challenge each other to settle the argument during Wrestlemania 31.
The said segment which was presumably taped after the Rock's appearance at Monday Night RAW (given that he was wearing the same outfit) was actually confirmed by Triple H in his weekly interview:
"Yeah, Rock and I had a brief conversation after Monday Night Raw was over and there were cameras there. It's interesting, to say the least. Rock's a great guy. It's tough to turn off the competitive juices between the two of us," Triple H bared during his weekly interview.
This development is a big one given that fans have been speculating on who will take up the main event of Wrestlemania 31 which will be held Sun., March 29, 2015, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. There have been many rumours on who will be fielded in the penultimate fight such as Roman Reigns versus Brock Lesnar or Sting against Lesnar. The Rock has long professed his interest in working with cousins Reigns but with the wrestler sidelined, there is no definite window to pit those two together.
The Triple H match offers some throwback angle and would haul in viewership from both fighter's followers. It would be illogical to pair The Rock against John Cena for a fourth time as that ship has already sailed. Given that movie star, has less on his plate right now, with both of his movies, San Andreas and Fast and the Furious 7 both in post-production, the March schedule for Wrestlemania 31 is perfect for The Rock to gain exposure and for the outfit to cash on his appearance. Now, bring these fighters together and make it happen. We need to taste what The Rock is cooking right away.
