Full Story About The Rock's Injury/Raw Missing


This is all developing as I write this, but WWE is working re-write massive parts of tonight's Raw as The Rock is not there as originally planned.
The word backstage is that he left for Los Angeles this morning. WWE sources indicate this caught the company completely off guard and there's a lot of heat on Rock at the moment.
This is not a planned angle to sell Rock being upset over losing the WWE title. He was worked into their plans going forward and there had been talk of shooting a major angle with Rock to begin building Wrestlemania 30, possibly an angle with Undertaker or Brock Lesnar (we've heard both discussed but mostly Lesnar) and all that is out the window now.

One source close to The Rock is saying that the reason he is not at tonight's Raw is that he told people that he was hurt in last night's match against John Cena and he is going to get it looked at. It's a story making the rounds, take it as such. None of the workers we spoke has heard it. More as we hear it.  


Mike Johnson sent this at 7:42 before Raw started.  I was at the gym so it went up late.  I wanted Scoops to get the props he deserves!
The Rock went home abruptly after WrestleMania after being told he had torn abductor and abdominal muscles.   He immediately went home to get treatment as he has to start filming his Hercules movie shortly.
Most within WWE were not aware of the circumstances for him leaving and there was heat on him initially.  That has dissipated, although there was grumbling among some wrestlers that if they can work hurt, Rock could have at least cut a promo.  Obviously, they don't understand the machine Rock is in Hollywood.
WWE was not informed until well into the afternoon, requiring massive rewrites to Raw and all the insanity that goes along with that.

The Rock also suffered a hernia during Wrestlemania 29.
According to several sources, Rock flew himself back to Miami (where he lives) to be examined quietly. WWE officials were not aware he had left the Northeast until he informed them he would be at Raw at close to 3 PM, which is when the chaotic re-writing began.
There were a lot of people upset initially about Johnson pulling off the show but 24 hours later, it's more concern he might be really hurt and with his Hollywood schedule, whether he'll be interested in performing again in the ring.
