Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has reacted to recent speculation about his appearance at WrestleMania 41, which is scheduled for April 19 and 20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
After rumors cropped up that he would be unable to appear due to scheduling conflicts, Johnson has taken to Instagram to deny the rumors. When one fan asked if he was going to be there, he provided an emphatic "Don't believe any of that bull----," wink and fist-bump emoji included.
The comments come after there were reports that Wrestling Observer Newsletter quoted Dave Meltzer as saying Johnson reportedly let WWE know he is unable to do WrestleMania 41 as he has very packed work schedule. He said, "He's not going to be able to do Mania. He already gave word that he wouldn't be able to do that match."
The WWE Appearances of The Rock and Plans for the Future
The recent interactions of Johnson with WWE have built a lot of excitement among the fans. He made an unexpected appearance at the Bad Blood pay-per-view event in October 2024, where he confronted Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.
This sparked rumors of a triple threat match between the superstars at WrestleMania 41. With conflicting reports regarding his availability, the exact nature of his involvement remains uncertain.
While ambiguous, Johnson does not rule out his appearance in WrestleMania 41. This also falls in line with his recent comments on a return to WWE events. In one interview, he talked about being "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."
Closer to the event, attendees begin anticipation based on released official announcements of card matches. In addition, no one can beat the influential celebrity value Johnson now possesses in leading a profile into the showcase that is WrestleMania 41.
Meanwhile, the rest of the WWE Universe remains literally at the edge of the seat, knowing a possible moment will unleash "The People's Champ" once more to centre stage.
