At the conclusion of the 2024 WWE Bad Blood PLE, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made a surprise appearance on the stage as Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes were in the ring. Following the event, it was reported that there are currently not plans for Rock to have a match at Wrestlemania 41 as his “schedule got too heavy.” However, The Rock publicly stated “don’t believe any of that bullshit“ to a fan on Instagram.

Despite online speculation, Rock did not appear at the 2024 WWE Survivor Series PLE to start a tease for Wrestlemania 41. When a fan on Twitter/X asked what the point was of Rock showing up at Bad Blood, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com responded with the following comment…

“If I told you that one there would be a meltdown.”

In a post on F4WOnline’s message board, Meltzer noted the following about Rock potentially doing a match at Wrestlemania…

“He had not committed to do the main event match on the show when I reported that he had not committed to do that and other bouts were being talked about. Which to those involved at the time internally was a hell of a big deal. He still had not several weeks ago, the last time I was told directly, hence no advertising of him for the show. I haven’t heard a change but that subject hasn’t been broached with more for a few weeks. From day one I wrote it’s up to him and he can change his mind at any time.”
