Hold onto your wrestling boots, folks, because Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is dropping bombshells that could shake the very foundation of WWE! The Rock, who made a triumphant return to WWE at WrestleMania 40 after an 11-year hiatus, has hinted that the biggest match in WWE history is almost a done deal for WrestleMania 41. Speaking with ESPN, the “Final Boss” himself teased an earth-shattering showdown that’s practically set in stone.
“We’re on the 1-yard line to create the biggest WrestleMania of all time and the biggest match of all time at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas,” he declared. “I’ll just leave it at that, Final Boss style.” If that doesn’t get your adrenaline pumping, nothing will!
After pinning the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, The Rock left with a promise to return and finish what they started. His surprise comeback happened mere months after he inked an unprecedented deal with WWE’s parent company, TKO Group Holdings, landing him a spot on the board of directors. This move was as seismic as one of his signature Rock Bottoms.
The plot thickened when Cody Rhodes, who initially stepped aside for The Rock to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40, pulled a U-turn. Rhodes staked his claim for a title shot, setting the stage for an epic tag team match: Rhodes and Seth Rollins versus Rock and Reigns on WrestleMania Saturday. Rhodes took the pin, turning his title match on Sunday into a chaotic “Bloodline Rules” showdown with multiple superstars—including The Rock, Rollins, and even The Undertaker—interfering. The Deadman himself delivered a chokeslam to the “People’s Champion,” further igniting the feud.
On the following “WWE Raw,” The Rock promised to rekindle his rivalry with Rhodes, setting the stage for what could be the most electrifying match in WrestleMania history.
