The latest episode of WWE RAW featured John Cena’s return to television for the first time since his heel turn at the 2025 Elimination Chamber. During the segment, Triple H’s creative direction may have revealed news about The Rock’s future involvement in the storyline.
Cena delivered what many considered an exceptional promo despite receiving loud negative reactions from the crowd. The 16-time World Champion blamed fans for the hatred he received despite his hard work and multiple character changes over the years.
Cody Rhodes interrupted the segment, stating that he wanted to face the real John Cena rather than the “Whiny B*tch” that Cena had become. Notably, neither competitor made significant mention of The Rock during their exchange.
This omission appears deliberate from Triple H’s creative team, potentially indicating that The Final Boss may not actively participate in the ongoing Cena-Rhodes storyline. Including The Rock would likely divide fans’ attention between two different feuds and could impact the characters of both Cena and The Rock.
The Rock’s involvement might diminish his villainous persona by positioning him as another obstacle for Rhodes rather than a central antagonist. His absence from the narrative would allow Cena and Rhodes to develop their own compelling storyline as the primary focus.
Based on these developments, The Rock might not appear on upcoming RAW episodes, allowing Cena to establish his new heel character and redirecting audience attention toward the rivalry with Rhodes.
The Final Boss could potentially make his next appearance directly at WrestleMania 41, where he might assist Cena alongside Travis Scott, similar to their actions at WWE Elimination Chamber 2025. This approach would support Cena’s pursuit of a record-setting 17th world championship while maintaining The Rock’s storyline with Rhodes.
