It's very simple. This movie must feature The Rock as a young version of the Tsunkatse fighter he portrayed in the Voyager episode, "Tsunkatse". In fact, I will be dissatisfied if there isn't at least one full, very visible reference to Tsunkatse in this movie.
Does Cruise really have a cameo or not?

So I've been wondering, not much has been established about that Tsunkatse figher portrayed by The Rock in the Voyager episode "Tsunkatse", canonically speaking. There is nothing saying his race isn't long-lived, and therefore he could have been alive in the 23rd century. And since Abrams and his cohorts are saying they'd like to provide various links to the other Trek series, this could be a perfect link to Voyager and the WWE. Have a scene where Kirk and Spock enter an alien night club in search of Nero. While they're looking around, they pass by a young version of that Tsunkatse figher portrayed by The Rock in the Voyager episode "Tsunkatse". You know what would make this scene even better? Have The Rock wearing a sombrero. We might even be able to smell what The Rock is cooking...
The potential is awe-inspiringly awesome.

Kirk will encounter The Rock. He will smell what The Rock is cooking.
And before you can say "Homoerotic Sub-Text" there'll be gallons of it splashed all over the place (Sombrero=ladle. It all makes sense!).
I am slightly confused.
I hope The Rock is cooking soup, canonically speaking.

I'm all for celebrity cameos so long as they don't overwhelm the story itself. Slater's cameo in ST6 is a perfect example.
Of course, if you dress up Cruise in a fat suit and make him a cursing movie producer erm...Starfleet Admiral it might be worth a few yucks.
