With 2024 in the rearview mirror, WWE and WWE fans are looking ahead to WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Nevada. According to Dave Meltzer on “Wrestling Observer Radio“, WWE Champion Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s current plans aren’t entirely clear.
“It feels like (Rock) is going to wrestle. It’s not set in stone that he’s going to wrestle,” Meltzer said. “All he wants to do is what they do. (Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena) is the match from a few days ago that was scheduled.”
On the “Raw” following WrestleMania 40, Rock shared a moment with Cody Rhodes, likely teasing a showdown between the two. According to Meltzer, Johnson facing Rhodes was the plan at the time this was written.
“The angle they took (coming out of WrestleMania 40) was Rock and Cody Rhodes,” Meltzer said, noting that WWE was not committed to a one-year reign for Cody Rhodes because he was an untested franchise face after years of Roman Reigns. up. But regardless of the title situation, Rhodes was scheduled to face “The Great One” this year.
“If Cody wasn’t champion, it would be for (the Rock’s People’s Championship),” Meltzer said, further explaining that a match for the WWE title and the People’s title was a likely idea. “We’ll see.”
Johnson is rumored to be involved in the premiere episode of “WWE Raw” on Netflix in Los Angeles, California, which would be his first WWE appearance since his enigmatic return to WWE Bad Blood in October.
