Post-Royal Rumble Update On The Rock Appearing At WrestleMania 39

WWE

With the WrestleMania 39 main event officially set up, there’s now another update on whether The Rock could make an appearance.

We now know that Roman Reigns will be defending the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes, despite WWE hoping for so long that Reigns vs The Rock would be the ultimate payoff to Reigns’ run since mid-2020.

Reports first emerged a couple of weeks ago that Rock had told WWE he wouldn’t have time to prepare and get in shape for a match, but many people had been holding out hope that wasn’t the case.

That hope finally looks to have fizzled out, but there might be something to cling onto. Just because he’s not ready for a match doesn’t necessarily mean he won’t show up at all.

Dave Meltzer tweeted today in response to a comment about The Rock:

He may show up. But he turned down wrestling.

At the very least, that means The Rock isn’t ruled out of making an appearance, so for those of you hoping to see him… it’s something.

Meltzer has also provided a huge update on Stone Cold Steve Austin’s status for WrestleMania, which you can read about at this link.
