The Rock’s status for next year’s WWE WrestleMania 41 has been the subject of speculation for the past few months. He made a highly anticipated return at Bad Blood 2024 last month.
At WWE Bad Blood 2024, Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns teamed up to defeat Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. After the match, The Rock shocked everyone with his unanticipated return. He counted to 1, 2, and 3 while looking at Rhodes and Reigns. Since then, reports have surfaced that WWE plans a major triple-threat match between the three at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas next year.
However, another report emerged suggesting that The Rock may not be scheduled for WrestleMania 41. In response, The Rock himself clarified his status and asked fans not to believe the rumors regarding his appearance in Las Vegas in April 2025.
Since then, confusion has surrounded his involvement, leaving fans wondering whether he will appear at the show. Recently, Cody Rhodes, a rumored opponent for The Rock at WrestleMania 41, addressed the speculation surrounding The Rock’s status.
Cody Rhodes reveals what to expect from The Rock at WWE WrestleMania 41
WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes recently discussed The Rock’s potential absence from WWE WrestleMania 41 during an interview with Adrian Hernandez. Rhodes cited the rumors surrounding The Rock’s return continue to circulate. However, he mentioned that fans should expect an unexpected outcome at WrestleMania 41.
He stated, “The man that is The Final Boss, Dwayne Johnson, is different from The Final Boss and his outside the box thinking with Nick Khan and Triple H, is part of WWE’s record era, part of this WWE Netflix era so in whether he’s in the ring or whether he’s not, he very much is still very involved with what happens at 41.”
Rhodes also added that the narratives regarding The Rock’s absence could go on, yet a surprise awaits at WrestleMania 41. He said, “But what I can say about WrestleMania 41 is keep the rumors going, keep them churning, enjoy the discourse, but I think what you will get will surprise you all.”
Although Rhodes did not directly address The Rock’s role in WrestleMania 41, he made it clear that he expects The Rock to target him when he returns. It will be an exciting time in WWE as the road to WrestleMania 41 is set to begin soon.
