- There is said to be absolute panic at RAW this afternoon. Tonight's show was scheduled to build to a segment where Brock Lesnar beat up The Rock to set up a WrestleMania XXX main event.
The Rock is not at RAW and word going around is he went home. Vince McMahon and WWE writers and producers are busy re-doing the show and apparently the angle has been nixed.
Nobody knows any details as to what happened past that. The belief now is that Rock won't be appearing tonight.
- There is another major angle planned for tonight to set up John Cena's next title defense at Extreme Rules. It was something that has been planned for some time and was actually scheduled for WrestleMania last night.
-lordsofpain.net
And now more details have come out:
- As noted earlier, The Rock was scheduled to be confronted by Brock Lesnar on tonight's RAW, however The Rock is no where to be found.
RAW's original script was set to feature The Rock opening the show with a promo about losing the WWE Title to John Cena. This promo would have led to Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman confronting Rock and laying him out, planting the seeds for a future pay-per-view bout between the two, rumored to be WrestleMania 30.
With The Rock skipping out without notice, WWE had to re-write the show. A WWE source described the environment as "chaos backstage."

If this is true, I've lost respect for Rock.

This sounds like total garbage, quite honestly.
I don't imagine The Rock would just "go home" if he was legitimately scheduled for Raw tonight. He either wasn't scheduled at all, or there is something more to the story here.

Haha, I love these type of dirtsheet stories; they can just fabricate a scenario that was "supposed to happen", and then when it doesn't, they can say that they were absolutely correct in their reporting, and no one will be able to confirm or deny it.

What? There is no way in hell The Rock ditched out on an appearance. I'm almost positive he was being advertised for Raw tonight. And if he legit just went home, then last night is undoubtbly the final time we ever see the Rock in the ring. Which is what I was terrified of during his little post mania match crap.

I'll take that with a grain of salt....if it's true, that's really unprofessional of Rock.

The Rock will be on RAW. If hes not then the only reason I could see him going home would be because he was unhappy with the crowd reaction at the end of Wrestlemania 29.

Rock knows that he doesn't need the WWE at this point in his life, and sadly, because of his contractural agreements with the company I very highly assume he's given full creative control over his characters direction on TV.
Stating this, I figure with some of his biggest movies coming out this year, he might have felt he "did his job" by putting Cena over last night, and probably feels putting Lesnar over wouldn't do him any favors.
That being said, if he did just walk out, I find that extremely unprofessional. But he's been "tainted" by the Hollywood bug so I would bet he's got a huge ego on par with anything Vince has.

last time I said a dirtsheet report was BS was when they announced Y2J/Fandango like a week or two before they even interacted. so assuming this is true...
... Is Batista going to return to face Cena? PLEASE NO.
As for Rock I don't really care. I still really like the guy but I am not interested in seeing him wrestle until he has the time for a proper program.

If this is true, I've lost respect for Rock. I didn't have much respect for the guy in the first place. |

He either wasn't scheduled at all, or there is something more to the story here. He was definitely scheduled, he's advertised on WWE.com as appearing. Oddly though, Brock Lesnar isn't. |

The Rock was, and still is advertised on WWE.com. In all likelihood, WWE will offer refunds if he's not there. The Rock knows this. If he's genuinely not going to be there tonight, I would imagine he has a valid reason and didn't simply "go home".

Seriously this dosent sound like something The Rock would do. He he did indeed bail on the company then I seriously hope Vince sues the living $hit out of him for breach of contract.

Lol I was just thinking this, if he did bail. Why do people always seem to bail on WWE when they're scheduled to face Lesnar?

We'll have to wait and see, but if he did do a "austin" I 've lost my respect for him.
