- Fast 6 starts filming in late July and will run through November. It was known that The Rock wouldn't be working WWE SummerSlam or anything else major for the rest of the year but the Fast 6 filming pretty much confirms that. With that said, The Rock will likely make at least an appearance on WWE TV before the year is over.
