Recent advertisements for WWE Survivor Series implied The Rock would be returning to the ring at the November pay-per-view, confusing many observers who felt there was no way WWE would have The Rock actually wrestle until his WrestleMania 28 bout with John Cena.
The latter viewpoint, one of common sense, appears to still be the case–a recent WWE.com comment touting the pay-per-view, which sold out in its first day on sale, makes no implication of The Rock actually wrestling at the show.
“In less than 90 minutes, the WWE Universe sold out this year’s Survivor Series. The 25th anniversary of the event, being held at New York City’s famous Madison Square Garden, will feature an appearance from John Cena’s WrestleMania XXVIII opponent, The Rock. Fifteen years after making his electrifying WWE debut at Survivor Series, The People’s Champion returns to MSG for the first time in eight years!”
The Rock, commenting on Twitter, also stopped short of promising to wrestle, instead saying that he will electrify Madison Square Garden.
