We haven't seen The Rock on WWE programming since last year's WrestleMania where The People's Champ defeated Erick Rowan in record time. The Great One has yet to be advertised for this year's event, but considering The Rock has been at the previous six 'Manias, we've all assumed another appearance would be inevitable.

The Rock recently had a conversation on Twitter with the 2017 Warrior Award recipient, Eric LeGrand, about hoping to meet up this year in Orlando. The response given is definitely hopeful news for all WWE fans.

The Rock did show up several weeks ago to RAW to film a few scenes for his upcoming movie Fighting With My Family, based on the story of Paige's real family. While Rock did not appear on WWE TV, he did make some noise after the show when he led the crowd in a CM Punk chant, and even called the former WWE Champion on the phone in the center of a WWE ring.

Last year, The Rock promised to make history and technically did so with his record setting "match", however his segment did drag on forever; something that even Stone Cold Steve Austin noted on a recent podcast.

The year before, Rock appeared alongside Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold in one of the most memorable segments in 'Mania history. Before that, Rocky stood alongside Ronda Rousey as they faced off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.

It was rumored this year that the former WWE Champion would have a match or confrontation of some sort with his Fast and Furious co-star, Vin Diesel, but it's now clear that Diesel is not in any way part of the WWE's plans.

Looking at the WrestleMania 33 card, it seems hard to find a spot where Rock would logically fit in, but anytime The Great One shows up is a memorable moment for the WWE Universe.
