The recent success of WWE’s new era has been boosted by the return of The Rock, who made a comeback at WrestleMania 40, where he and Roman Reigns emerged victorious against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. The Rock’s involvement in the event exceeded internal expectations and created a growing demand for his return to the industry.
According to ESPN, the rumored WrestleMania 41 match between The Rock and Cody Rhodes is likely to happen, given Rock’s recent message indicating his intention to return to the ring soon. Nick Khan, WWE President and longtime friend of The Rock, played a significant role in convincing him to return.

Triple H, who worked closely with The Rock on his comeback, also spoke highly of his performance, acknowledging the level of dedication required to execute at such a high level after a 12-week training camp. The Rock prepared for his comeback with WWE rings set up in Hawaii, Los Angeles, and the East Coast, where he trained with coaches and wrestlers.
Meanwhile, NJPW Strong Openweight Champion Gabe Kidd challenged The Rock to a match at NJPW, using explicit language to invite the WWE legend for a visit. Kidd accused Rock of being a part-timer and invited him to experience real wrestling. The Rock has not yet responded to Kidd’s challenge.
The Rock’s successful return to WWE has created a significant impact on the industry, and his future in the company looks promising. With Triple H and Nick Khan expressing their support and admiration for The Rock, fans can expect to see him back in the ring soon. However, Gabe Kidd’s challenge to The Rock has added an exciting twist to the storyline, leaving fans curious to see how it unfolds.
