The Rock Just Caused Major Speculation

The Rock made an announcement via Instagram earlier today which has pro wrestling fans buzzing, as The Great One will be making a surprise appearance at a screening of Fighting With My Family tonight in Atlanta. The screening comes just two days before Raw takes place in the same city, featuring Roman Reigns’ return, and has fueled speculation that The Rock might make an appearance.

“Let’s roll ATLANTA!”, The Rock posted. “The secret surprise is out thanks to @kevinhart4real’s big mouth! I’ll be at REGAL ATLANTIC STATION TONIGHT to surprise the crowd watching #FightingWithMyFamily. Thank you so much for the love and support everyone — I’m grateful and can’t wait to return the love back tonight in the theater. My son Kev is gettin’ big.”
