Addressing the rumors swirling around his absence from WrestleMania, The Rock took to Instagram, stating, “Don’t listen to that bullsh*t.” Sources from WWE confirmed to Fightful that the company remains a priority for him, and he will continue to make appearances when his schedule allows. High-ranking officials told Fightful that The Rock views himself as part of the “family” and will be involved sporadically whenever possible.

There’s also internal chatter about The Rock potentially appearing at the first-ever WWE Raw on Netflix from the Intuit Dome. Though nothing is confirmed, sources say there’s optimism within WWE that he could be there.

One WWE source mentioned that planning six months ahead with The Rock is challenging because he tends to prioritize his career on his own terms. A WWE producer also shared that if The Rock decides to show up on short notice, he will, and no one would stand in his way. Multiple sources emphasized that, as of now, no internal communication suggests that The Rock is ruled out for WrestleMania.

Regarding his WWE Bad Blood appearance, sources revealed it wasn’t heavily planned in advance. The idea of The Rock showing up only became realistic a few weeks before the event, leading to the main event featuring Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes in a tag team match. WWE reportedly received confirmation of The Rock’s involvement just days before the show.

With his unpredictable nature and sporadic appearances, fans are now left wondering whether The Rock will play a role in the grand spectacle of WrestleMania 41.
