The massive query of what The Rock will probably be doing at WrestleMania 41 over Easter Weekend got something of a solution through the January 6 “WWE Raw,” when “The Final Boss” decided to stop being “The Final Boss” for the night as WWE debuted on Netflix. Rock praised the fans for setting a brand new indoor gate record, congratulated Cody Rhodes for carrying the corporate, and acknowledged Roman Reigns as “The Tribal Chief,” leading many to wonder what he will probably be doing on the grandest stage of all of them.
Dave Meltzer within the Wrestling Observer Newsletter explained that folks inside WWE imagine that the plan of getting Rock taking over Cody Rhodes has officially been scrapped. The match was originally teased the night after WrestleMania 40, but regardless that it was the unique major event of one in all the nights for WrestleMania 41, that is not any longer the case. The present plan for Rhodes is to defend his Undisputed WWE Championship against John Cena, but Meltzer has made it very clear that those plans could change depending on what Rock wants.
Since he isn’t facing Rhodes, the concept of facing Reigns continues to be on the table, but considering that Rock is just not expected to compete at WrestleMania 41, that does not seem like it is going to be the place where the match happens. Meltzer mentioned that the cash places like Saudi Arabia pay fighters in boxing and UFC could bleed into the choice of where Rock vs. Reigns takes place, but no matter location, the match continues to be expected to happen sooner or later in the longer term, especially considering that Rock told fans on the January 7 “WWE NXT” that he thinks 20 steps ahead of everyone.
