Fan speculation about whether The Rock will wrestle at WWE WrestleMania 41 has gained traction to the point where The Rock himself addressed a report about it.
Since WrestleMania 40, the expectation has been that he would wrestle Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. Talk of that happening grew once Rock made a surprise appearance following the Bad Blood main event, in which Rhodes and Roman Reigns beat Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.
It had been reported that Rock wasn’t scheduled for WrestleMania 41 next April and gave word he wouldn’t be able to do the match. Rock later responded in an Instagram comment on his post, noting, “Don’t believe any of that bull****.”
As previously reported by WrestleVotes, plans for The Rock to wrestle at WrestleMania 41 are still in place. Fightful reported that WWE is a priority for the Rock, and he’s expected in the fold here and there in sporadic fashion.
In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that nothing is official regarding The Rock appearing on Raw’s Netflix debut episode. Regarding Mania, Meltzer wrote, “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.”
In the meantime, Rock is preparing for the releases of “Red One” and “Moana 2.”
