Eric Bischoff shared his insights on The Rock’s likely appearance at WrestleMania 41 during his 83 Weeks podcast. The former WCW President pointed to The Rock’s recent purchase of 100,000 shares in TKO stock as evidence of his continued commitment to WWE programming.
The guy just bought a 100,000 shares of TKO stock, you think he’s not gonna try to move the needle anytime he’s got the opportunity? I think he loves this, I think it’s good for Johnson, the actor. There’s no downside.
While acknowledging potential movie contract restrictions, Bischoff expressed confidence in WWE’s ability to incorporate The Rock into the event. He praised the creative team’s capability to craft compelling surprises.
I would manage my expectations and enjoy the ride because I think anything’s possible. I think they got the creative horsepower to pull just about anything off.

Speaking on Sportskeeda’s Wrestling Time Machine, Bischoff addressed the apparent resolution between The Rock and Cody Rhodes on RAW’s Netflix debut. The Hall of Famer advised fans to watch for subtle hints in The Rock’s behavior.
The reaction that they’ve got, because I’ve seen a lot of it, social media’s like, ‘What the f**k? We’re just supposed to forget?’ But, you know, Rock is really good at planting little Easter eggs along the way. The little quote to Cody, ‘Tell your mom I said Happy New Year,’ whatever the quote was to Cody’s mom that caught Cody by surprise, I don’t know, let’s just wait and see.
The Rock’s recent WWE appearances on both RAW and NXT in 2025 featured him displaying the People’s Championship, though his WrestleMania 41 status remains unconfirmed.
