With WrestleMania 41 just hours away, buzz continues to build around a possible surprise appearance by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, despite no official confirmation from WWE.
The Rock was last seen at the Elimination Chamber PLE, aligning with heel-turned John Cena during an attack on Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. He subsequently left to film a new movie, casting doubt on whether he would be present for WrestleMania weekend.
However, the flames of speculation have been reignited thanks to WWE’s strategic release of brand-new Rock merchandise, which dropped in the final hours leading into the event. While this doesn’t confirm his involvement, fans and insiders alike have taken it as a potential signal.
WWE has historically timed major merch releases to coincide with surprise returns or major storyline moments—leading many to believe that The Rock may be slated for a key role at some point during this weekend’s show.
WrestleVotes had previously reported that internal speculation within WWE suggested a potential appearance from The Rock was “on the table.”
Whether The Rock shows up ringside—perhaps in Cena’s corner against Rhodes—or delivers one of his iconic surprise returns, WrestleMania 41 may indeed get electrified.
