WWE’s creative team is operating with a ‘wait and see’ approach, ready to adjust if The Rock signals his interest.
If he decides to participate, his plans would effectively become the direction for the event, showcasing his influence within the company.
PWInsider reported the following:

• Starting in 2025, WWE RAW will air live globally as part of a new streaming deal with Netflix, according to PWInsider.
This change means RAW will broadcast live regardless of its taping location, including international markets with different time zones.
For instance, episodes taped in the UK will air live in the U.S. during early afternoon hours instead of the traditional evening slot.
This transition supports WWE’s international touring schedule, particularly in Europe, leading up to WrestleMania 41.
Additionally, Netflix will offer on-demand access to RAW shortly after its live airing, providing fans with more viewing flexibility.
