The Rock Not Planned For WWE WrestleMania 41

The Rock is not planned for WWE WrestleMania 41, according to multiple reports.

Dr. Chris Featherstone of Sportskeeda noted The Rock is not currently scheduled to wrestle at WrestleMania and WWE are making plans as if he won't be available for the company's biggest show of the year.

"#WWE has decided to move forward in creative plans as if The Rock will not appear at #WrestleMania 41, as of now. I have been informed that these plans could 'change at any moment,' and WWE is definitely interested in using him if he becomes available, but he is not currently scheduled to compete," Featherstone tweeted.

The report has been corroborated by Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, who replied:

"I see a bunch of people posting The Rock's Instagram comments from months ago in his replies. He's the Rock and ultimately he can do what he wants, but this post is correct and has been for quite a while."

A report from Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer in October claimed that Dwayne Johnson had told WWE he wouldn't be able to work WrestleMania. The Rock later said on Instagram: "Don’t believe any of that bull****."

The Rock has been back with WWE since January 2024 and he teamed with Roman Reigns to defeat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins on night one of WrestleMania 40. Johnson then interfered unsuccessfully in the main event of night two, taking a Chokeslam from The Undertaker.

The Rock appeared to set up a match with Cody Rhodes on the Raw after WrestleMania and he made a brief appearance in the closing moments of Bad Blood, signalling a '1-2-3' to Cody, Roman Reigns, and Jimmy Uso.

WWE WrestleMania 41 will emanate from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 19 and April 20, 2025. Tickets are already available for the two-night affair.
