The rumors are swirling, but The Rock wants to make one thing clear: dont believe the hype! After his shocking appearance at WWE Bad Blood 2024, fans have been buzzing about whether Dwayne The Rock Johnson will step back into the ring for WrestleMania 41. However, recent reports from Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter indicated that The Rock isnt currently scheduled for a match at next years WrestleMania.
Despite the buzz, The Rock isnt holding back when it comes to addressing the rumors. After a fan asked him on Instagram, Are you really not working Mania 41??? Say it aint so!, The Rock shut down the speculation, replying: Dont believe any of that bullshit.
Meltzer reported that while The Rocks surprise appearance at Bad Blood reignited excitement, there are no concrete plans for him to face Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania. According to Meltzer, The Rocks busy schedule prevents him from making a full commitment to a match at this time. He explained, He already gave word that he wouldnt be able to do that match.
Although The Rock brought out the iconic Peoples Belt, a gift from Muhammad Alis widow, Meltzer clarified that the moment wasnt necessarily a setup for an in-ring return. He noted, The story is simply his schedule got too heavy, he couldnt commit to doing it right.
As of now, fans can only hope for a possible change leading up to the Royal Rumble, but its clear The Rock is keeping his cards close to his chest.
