First look at The Rock’s incredible transformation for new movie
In addition to being one of the most talked-about performers in WWE history, The Rock is also a popular Hollywood star. Amid his absence from the squared circle, pictures of his look for his upcoming project have leaked online.
Dwayne Johnson made a surprising appearance at Bad Blood following the main event, which saw Jimmy Uso return to television to help Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns defeat Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu. The 52-year-old made gestures from the stage, hinting at a potential feud with the trio, before disappearing from WWE programming once again.
The Rock is set to play Maui in the live-action adaptation of Disney's 2016 animated film Moana. Earlier today, several pictures of the former World Champion from the movie's sets leaked online. In the photographs, The Rock can be seen dressed as Maui and appears a lot bigger, possibly by wearing a body suit.
WWE Superstar opens up about The Rock's involvement in WrestleMania 41
The Rock was a major attraction at WrestleMania XL. The Final Boss made appearances on both nights, which also saw him pin Cody Rhodes in a tag team match on Night One. The American Nightmare recently spoke about The Great One's potential in-ring appearance at next year's Show of Shows in Las Vegas.
In an interview with Adrian Hernandez at ComplexCon, Rhodes pointed out that The People's Champion is a member of the TKO Group Holdings' board of directors. The Undisputed WWE Champion stated that the real-life Bloodline member is still involved with whatever happens at The Showcase of The Immortals, irrespective of his in-ring appearance at the show.
"Well, I mean this, and I don’t mean this in a smart-aleck-type way, but Rock is the director of the board, the man that is The Final Boss. Dwayne Johnson is different from The Final Boss, and his outside-the-box thinking with Nick Khan and Triple H is part of WWE’s record era. Part of this WWE's Netflix era. So whether he’s in the ring or not, he is very much still involved with what happens at [WrestleMania] 41. I know when he comes back, I know who he’ll come looking for, and I know what to expect. But what I can say about WrestleMania 41 is: keep the rumors going, keep them churning, enjoy the discourse, but I think what you will get will surprise you all," Rhodes said. [From 3:38 to 4:21]
