During today's WWE investor conference call, it was pointed out that thanks SmackDown Live's move to FOX, WWE will soon be in more homes than ever before. Needless to say, the company is looking to make a huge impact this October in order to attract as many viewers as possible and it now sounds like that could end up involving The Rock.

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is banking on Dwayne Johnson on being the "big hook" for the show's October 4th premiere. 

As of right now, he's not committed to doing the show but it sounds like there are talks between the two sides. WWE is also looking to bring in a number of other celebrities in order to make the show feel as huge as possible, hence why it's being held in Los Angeles. 

Are you guys excited to see the blue brand on FOX?
