The Very Latest on The Rock’s SmackDown 1000 Status

It was reported earlier this week via Joe Peisich on Barnburner’s No Holds Barred podcast that WWE is still trying to talk to The Rock about making some kind of an appearance at next week’s SmackDown 1000th episode.
In an updated, Mike Johnson of PWInisder mentioned in his latest Q&A that he would be surprised if The Rock wasn’t featured on the show. Johnson speculated that if he didn’t make it on the show, he would at least have a video message.

“I’d be surprised if he didn’t have at least a video message on the show.  In person, I am less confident.”
