Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson returned at WWE Bad Blood 2024 after Jimmy Uso helped Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns defeat Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.
The Rock came out, counted 1, 2, 3, and had an intense staredown with Cody, Roman, and Jimmy before heading to the back.
Speculations regarding The Rock’s potential participation at WWE WrestleMania 41 intensified to the extent that The Final Boss himself addressed his status for next year’s flagship pay-per-view event.
Since WrestleMania 40, there has been a prevailing expectation that The Rock would face Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. The rumors surrounding this matchup escalated following The Rock’s surprise appearance at WWE Bad Blood 2024.
As we previously reported here on eWn, The Rock was not slated to compete at WrestleMania 41 next April, and the Hollywood star conveyed that he would be unable to participate in the match.
Thereafter, The Rock replied to an Instagram comment on his post, stating, “Don’t believe any of that bull****.”
WWE remains a priority for The Rock, and he is expected to appear sporadically.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that there have been no confirmations about The Rock’s participation in the debut episode of WWE RAW on Netflix.
Regarding The Rock’s WrestleMania 41 status, the report states,
“We’re told again that he’s not committed at this point. Obviously if he wants to and feels he can do so, he’ll be doing it. It’s totally up to him. But in checking with two people who would both almost have to know about the Mania main event, one said that there is nothing set and the other said Johnson is not scheduled.”
Meanwhile, The Rock is getting ready for the upcoming releases of “Red One” and “Moana 2.”
