Report: WWE wants The Rock to appear on FOX debut of 'SmackDown'
WWE is reportedly looking to add Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to its guest list for the debut of "SmackDown Live" on FOX.
The company has reached out to Johnson about appearing on the Oct. 4 episode, but he has yet to commit due to his busy filming schedule, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, as cited by Uproxx's Emily Pratt.
Several WWE legends have already been announced for the episode, which will double as a 20th-anniversary celebration for "SmackDown."
