Backstage Update On WrestleMania 32 Plans For The Rock, WWE Network Expansion, WWE Attendance

By Marc Middleton

- WWE is now looking at doing Triple H vs. The Rock at WrestleMania 32 next year. This would go along with the Stephanie McMahon vs. Ronda Rousey singles match, if they are able to work it out with UFC. The SmackDown angle between The Rock and Triple H they did in 2014 was done with the idea that the two rivals would face each other at either WrestleMania 31 or 32. The Rock vs. Brock Lesnar had been rumored for WrestleMania 32 but it looks like WWE has nixed that idea.
