• Update On The Rock Ahead Of WrestleMania 41
As WWE fans gear up for WrestleMania 41, set to take place this weekend, April 19-20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, speculation about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s involvement remains a hot topic.
Veteran wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently dropped a bombshell, revealing that even The Rock’s own family is in the dark about whether the Hollywood megastar will appear at the two-night Premium Live Event.
During a recent episode of SK Wrestling’s WrestleBinge Live Q&A on Backstage Pass, Apter shared insights from conversations with members of The Rock’s family:
“I’ve talked to members of his family, and they don’t even know if he’s going to be there yet.”
He suggested that The Rock’s absence could be tied to a demanding film schedule, specifically mentioning a project with Martin Scorsese in Europe that might prevent him from attending.
The Rock’s potential absence has been a point of contention since reports surfaced last October. The Wrestling Observer initially reported that The Rock had informed WWE he wouldn’t be available for WrestleMania 41 due to a packed Hollywood schedule, a claim The Rock refuted on Instagram, telling fans, “Don’t believe any of that bullsh*t.”
The Rock last appeared on WWE programming at Elimination Chamber 2025 on March 1st, where John Cena turned heel and joined forces with The Final Boss and Travis Scott to attack Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
