WWE Keeps Tight Lid on The Rock’s Possible WrestleMania 41 Appearance
WWE keeps The Rock’s WrestleMania plans under wraps while Fightful journalist questions his extended absence from programming.
The status of The Rock for WrestleMania 41 remains shrouded in uncertainty as WWE continues to provide no updates on his potential involvement. Following several appearances earlier this year that boosted Netflix viewership numbers, The Rock has been absent from WWE programming since the Elimination Chamber event.
Fightful journalist Sean Ross Sapp addressed this situation during a post-Raw analysis show, expressing confusion about the company’s handling of The Rock’s absence.
He should have appeared on RAW or SmackDown or at some show. How the hell hasn’t he appeared since then? They always say they have a plan, but they mentioned more before the historic heel-turn with Cena than after.
Sapp further speculated that if The Rock does return at WrestleMania, WWE might attempt to justify his prolonged absence by claiming they successfully made fans forget about him – an assertion Sapp firmly rejected.
No, you didn’t make us forget about him. He’s one of the most famous people on the planet. There’s no way you accomplished that.
Meanwhile, the WrestleMania card moves forward with Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against John Cena. Whether The Rock factors into this championship scenario remains to be seen, as WWE appears determined to maintain the element of surprise regarding any potential appearance by the Hollywood star.
