Report: The Rock ‘Mad’ After WWE WrestleMania 41 Status Leak WWE

The Rock’s reaction to the reports that leaked his status for WWE WrestleMania 41 in April 2025 has been revealed.

News that The Rock wouldn’t be available for the upcoming WWE PLE emerged in October 2024, courtesy of Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

It would later be reported that WWE had pushed back on the idea, although it was seemingly confirmed that creative plans were being made assuming that The Rock wouldn’t be available.

With The Rock warning fans to not believe that “bulls**t“, Dave Meltzer has now revealed that the Hollywood star was less-than-impressed by the leak.

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer revealed that The Rock was “mad” that the news of his plans for WrestleMania 41 had been leaked, stating:

“It would have been November, December when all of sudden everyone started reporting it (Rock’s WrestleMania 41 status).

“I kind of heard, ‘Oh my god Dwayne’s mad that everyone’s reporting it and he doesn’t want this out’.

“One person said ‘I bet he does the show now’, just because he’s so mad that everyone’s reporting it.”

On October 5, 2024, The Rock appeared in the closing moments of WWE Bad Blood with it being noted afterwards that this was just to get him on screen.

After a tense 2024 between the pair, Cody Rhodes has recently spoken about his relationship with The Rock, noting Dwayne Johnson’s role on the TKO board of directors.

WrestleMania 41 takes place at the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada on April 19 & 20, 2025.
