WWE officials are trying to sign The Rock to appear at the big SmackDown 1000 event on October 16 from Washington, DC, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
SmackDown was named after one of Rock's "catch phrases," so it would obviously make sense to have him on if they can get him. For now, nothing's official and it could depend on The Rock's busy schedule. He just started shooting the upcoming Fast and Furious spinoff, Hobbs and Shaw this week in London.
The names advertised for the big Smackdown 1000 event include The Undertaker, Michelle McCool, Vickie Guerrero, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long and Torrie Wilson. WWE has also announced an Evolution reunion for the show with WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista. It's been reported that Rey Mysterio and WWE Hall of Famer Edge will also be in attendance.
