Earlier this year, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson turned heel and assisted Roman Reigns against his feud with Cody Rhodes. However, The Final Boss took over the rivalry to a certain extent, which gave way to a new story between Johnson and Rhodes for the future.
Later, The Rock pinned Cody Rhodes in a tag team match at WrestleMania XL Night One, which planted a feud between the two. However, The Final Boss went on a hiatus, and The American Nightmare started his reign as the Undisputed WWE Champion.
According to Fightful Select, the two stars filmed new content a few weeks ago at the premiere of Moana 2. At this point, there's no update on what the content is and if it would play out in their feud or not.
A few months ago, Dwayne Johnson returned to the Stamford-based promotion as The Final Boss at WWE Bad Blood. However, he left without entering the ring.
