As he promised in his Instagram video, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson discovered his technique to the ring for the primary Monday Evening Uncooked solely on Netflix. Wrestling followers had been excited to see The Brahma Bull return, after all, and I wasn’t the one one hoping it might shed some mild on his plans for WrestleMania 41. Sadly, after seeing his phase, I am extra confused than ever about what the plan for him is.
All of us need to see The Rock in upcoming WWE occasions, however is he planning on clearing his busy schedule to find time for WrestleMania season? Let’s revisit what all he did within the episode, and why I am left questioning what the hell to make of all of that.
The Rock Opened Up WWE’s Netflix Period, And Was Current For The Tribal Chief Match
The Rock was the primary particular person within the ring following Paul “Triple H” Levesque and acquired Los Angeles hyped for the history-making episode of Monday Evening Uncooked. He confirmed like to Cody Rhodes, seemingly forgetting that he promised to take his title the following time he returned. He then exited the ring and took a seat ringside to watch Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa for the Tribal Fight match.
He did not seem once more till the tip of the match, when Reigns formally gained the Ula Fala again from his cousin Solo, and provided to place the necklace on the OTC. The Purple One star then stood by silently and watched the whole enviornment reward his cousin with none response in any way. The phase ended, and Dwayne Johnson exited the ring.
Nothing The Rock Did Indicated Any Plans To Seem At WrestleMania 41, Which Is Regarding
I say Dwayne Johnson exited the ring not only for my very own dramatic sake, however as a result of I noticed extra of the Hollywood actor than I ever noticed of “The Rock” as Monday Evening Uncooked hit Netflix’s world viewers. It has me questioning if he is nonetheless on the fence about competing at WrestleMania 41, which is reportedly why the WWE has a number of plans in place for its important occasion. There is a plan for if The Nice One desires to have a match, and one for if he would not.
I initially assumed, based mostly on his Instagram movies, that he was organising for his massive match in opposition to Roman Reigns, which he is campaigned to get for years. If that had been taking place, I might need to think about Dwayne Johnson would’ve attacked his cousin within the ring throughout the most-hyped WWE present of 2025 to date. That did not occur, and actually, we did not see the The Folks’s Champion get in a tussle with anybody. This has me pondering he will not be at WrestleMania 41, which is regarding.
If The Rock is not at WrestleMania, then are we going to look at Roman Reigns tackle Solo Sikoa once more? That feels just a little lackluster seeing because the WWE simply confirmed what could also be its largest Monday Evening Uncooked viewers of 2025 that match already. Hopefully, that is only a sluggish burn and we’ll see him get just a little extra engaged as WrestleMania attracts nearer. I do assume we should always possibly put together for the truth The Rock is skipping out on the occasion regardless of hyping it closely final 12 months.
Monday Evening Uncooked is now an enormous bonus for Netflix subscibers, who can catch it stay on Mondays at 8:00 p.m. ET. Persist with CinemaBlend for extra rumors and hypothesis on what is going on on with Dwayne Johnson at WrestleMania 41.
