Fans are buzzing about Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's recent appearance on Netflix, and many are speculating that he won't be making an appearance at WrestleMania this year. Keep up with all the latest WWE Raw coverage on Netflix with Metro's live stream.
On Monday Night Raw, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson kicked off the WWE Netflix era in a big way. However, some fans are convinced that this means he won't be part of WrestleMania 41. Despite this, the wrestling legend turned Hollywood megastar made a grand return at the beginning of the live stream, although he didn't seem to be portraying his infamous villainous Final Boss persona from last year.
There has been much speculation about who The Rock might face in Las Vegas in April. Some believe he could reignite his rivalry with Cody Rhodes or Roman Reigns. However, during his return, Dwayne took a different approach and opened up about his own family history. He also gave shout outs to the fans, Netflix executives, and even the Undisputed WWE Champion himself.
During his appearance, Cody Rhodes was shown on the front row and The Rock praised him for carrying the company on his back for the past year. Although he didn't completely ignore their rivalry, he did joke about Cody's mother, who played a key role in their blood feud last year. This caused the American Nightmare to laugh and show that they are not on bad terms anymore.
Dwayne also promised to closely watch the match between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, as they kicked off the show with Tribal Combat. After that match, he returned to the ring to present winner Roman with the Ula Fala, a traditional Samoan necklace, before acknowledging his cousin. Some fans were quick to notice that this didn't sound like a promo from someone who is supposed to be working WrestleMania.
In the past, Dwayne has not always been on good terms with Cody Rhodes, but it seems like they have buried the hatchet. Some fans are convinced that this means The Rock will not be making an appearance at WrestleMania. However, WWE still has plenty of big names to turn to this year, including fellow wrestler-turned-actor John Cena, who is already confirmed to be part of the event.
John Cena's role in WrestleMania is still unclear, but there have been rumors about potential opponents such as Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER. One thing that fans do know is that boss Paul 'Triple H' Levesque already has the main event in mind and penciled in, although he admits it could change.
Triple H explained in an interview that plans for WrestleMania are constantly shifting, and decisions may be made based on injuries, opportunities, and other factors. Last year, WWE had to change their plans for Roman Reigns and The Rock's match, which ended up being a tag team match with Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. Ultimately, Cody emerged as the Undisputed WWE Champion.
Although Triple H has a main event penciled in for this year's WrestleMania, he also recognizes that things could still change. So, while fans may be speculating about The Rock's potential absence, nothing is set in stone. We'll just have to wait and see what surprises WWE has in store for us.
