Forgive the poor pun and reference, but it sure smells like The Rock might make his way back to WWE programming soon.

A new update has come in about The Rock’s return ahead of WWE SummerSlam. The Final Boss hasn’t been seen on WWE programming since Elimination Chamber, where he gave the signal to John Cena to attack Cody Rhodes.

Earlier this year, The Rock appeared to be positioned as Cody Rhodes' chief antagonist. But on March 1 at the Elimination Chamber premium live event, he helped facilitate John Cena's shocking heel turn, setting the stage for what looked like a multi-man storyline heading into WrestleMania 41.
