WWE legend The Rock confirms his participation in WrestleMania 41, dismissing rumors of his absence. After a dramatic return at WWE Bad Blood 2024, speculation around a potential triple-threat match featuring The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes has intensified. Fans eagerly await the grand showdown in 2025, promising a historical WrestleMania moment.
The Rock also known as “The Final Boss,” has finally broken his silence regarding the rumors surrounding his potential absence from WrestleMania 41. The legend and Hollywood megastar has seemingly confirmed that he will be part of the grandest stage of them all in 2025, much to the delight of fans worldwide. This revelation puts to rest any doubts about his availability for the highly anticipated event.
For the first time since Monday Night RAW after WrestleMania XL, The Rock returned to WWE at the Bad Blood 2024 Premium Live Event after several months of absence. The Final Boss’ comeback has opened up new and more exciting doors for the Bloodline saga.
However, upon his return, The Rock left fans confused about whom he actually wanted to face – Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes, as The Final Boss stood on the entrance ramp and set his eyes on Reigns, Rhodes, and Jimmy Uso. Before leaving, The Great One counted to three on his fingers and made a throat-slash gesture.
The Rock’s Electrifying Return at Bad Blood 2024
The Rock’s journey toward WrestleMania 41 began with a surprise appearance at WWE Bad Blood 2024. In a moment that sent shockwaves through the WWE Universe, The Rock returned to the ring and stood face-to-face with two of WWE’s biggest stars—Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. The tension-filled confrontation occurred after the main event, leaving fans buzzing with excitement. Although The Rock didn’t say a word, his presence alone teased the possibility of a blockbuster triple-threat match for WrestleMania 41, featuring himself, Reigns, and Rhodes.
This silent stare-down ignited speculation about what could be one of the biggest matches in WrestleMania history. With Cody Rhodes currently reigning as the Undisputed WWE Champion and Roman Reigns—the former “Tribal Chief”—looking to regain his dominance, the potential match promises to be an epic showdown between three generations of wrestling royalty
Major hint on The Rock’s WrestleMania XL opponent
It seems like WWE may have subtly confirmed The Rock’s opponent for WrestleMania 41. Next year will be vital for the Stamford-based company, as Monday Night RAW will move to Netflix, and the promotion wants it to be grand.
WWE recently revealed a new promotional poster for SmackDown, in which Solo Sikoa replaces Roman Reigns. This is a major hint that he will be drafted to the red brand next year. The Original Tribal and the entire Bloodline would be drafted to the red brand. Though The Rock is a free agent, he might be majorly booked on RAW instead of SmackDown, which indicates that his opponent at WrestleMania 41 is most likely Roman Reigns.
Rumors of The Rock’s Absence Quashed
Following his return at Bad Blood, rumors began circulating that The Rock might not compete at WrestleMania 41 due to his busy acting commitments in Hollywood. Fans were left puzzled as to why The Rock would make such a highprofile appearance if he wasn’t planning on stepping back into the ring for a major match.
However, The Rock put these concerns to rest when he responded to a fan on Instagram, addressing the rumors head-on. He all but confirmed his participation in WrestleMania 41, effectively squashing any doubts about his involvement in WWE’s marquee event. His response has reignited the buzz around the potential triple threat match, raising expectations for one of the most highly anticipated bouts in recent history
The Rock has a lot of connections with the Bloodline saga
Before leaving WWE on the RAW after WrestleMania XL, The Rock promised Cody Rhodes that he would return, as their story had just started. However, despite subtle hints and multiple reports leaning towards The Final Boss vs. The American Nightmare, signs point to The Rock being more deeply connected to the Bloodline saga instead.
During his return at Bad Blood 2024, Solo Sikoa leaked a significant spoiler that The Final Boss’ return at the Atlanta event was “part of the plan.” Over the coming months, we may see The Rock reveal himself as the true mastermind behind the fall of Roman Reigns. All the dots connect and suggest he will be part of the family drama soon.
