Below are a couple of WrestleMania 41 news stories.
• The premiere episode of RAW on Netflix, set for January 6th at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, could feature a surprise appearance by The Rock. While his WrestleMania 41 involvement remains uncertain, this appearance might hint at his plans.
WWE had reportedly considered an Undisputed WWE Championship match between Cody Rhodes and The Rock for WrestleMania 41, with a potential Rock vs. Roman Reigns match later.
However, recent reports from Chris Featherstone and Sean Ross Sapp suggest WWE is moving forward as if The Rock will not participate, with Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena being the backup plan.
Despite this, the Wrestling Observer noted that some top WWE Officials still expect The Rock to wrestle at WrestleMania 41, though it’s not guaranteed. The Netflix debut could set the tone for WrestleMania season and clarify Rock’s involvement:
“I do know that people are expecting [The Rock] to appear on the show in some form. As for wrestling on the show, I even know people at the top who are expecting that, but it’s not a sure thing and one would think the Netflix show on 1/6 will kick off the season and tip the hand. Rock could do another match even though WWE Title vs. People’s Title was what he wanted after Mania.”
