The Rock to return and sow the seeds for the WrestleMania 41 main event at WWE Bad Blood? Potential surprise explored
The Rock has been away from WWE television since April 2024. Before walking away, he told Cody Rhodes their story wasn't over. It looks like the time has finally come as The Final Boss could be gearing up for a blockbuster return at Bad Blood in Atlanta to stir things up and set the stage for a potential WrestleMania 41 main event.
During Cody Rhodes' recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, he teased that a mysterious star would return to WWE this week, seemingly at the upcoming PLE. With The American Nightmare addressing the person as ''the big guy,'' there has been a flurry of speculations that the subtle reference could be about The Rock's potential return at Bad Blood this weekend.
Moreover, the 39-year-old also stated that there were some enormous plans for the main event of WrestleMania 41. Cody Rhodes vs. The Rock is reportedly set to take place at The Show of Shows next year. However, the Undisputed WWE Champion's recent statement indicates that the Triple H-led creative team may have far bigger plans for the main event of The Showcase of The Immortals in Las Vegas.
There have been rumors circulating that Cody Rhodes vs. The Rock vs. Roman Reigns will be the potential main event of WrestleMania 41. There are high chances that The Final Boss could return at Bad Blood to sow the seeds of this blockbuster showdown. He could show up during The OTC and The American Nightmare's tag team match against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu this Saturday.
The Rock could be furious with his cousin for teaming up with his bitter rival. He might storm the ring and hit Cody Rhodes with a vicious Rock Bottom. Following this, The Great One could have a cold staredown with Roman Reigns, his eyes filled with disgust for The OTC. However, the 52-year-old could simply walk away, leaving the entire arena bewildered.
This could eventually lay the foundation for the potential main event of WrestleMania 41, where The Rock is rumored to face Rhodes and Reigns in a Triple Threat Match. However, this is just a rumor at this point, and it will be interesting to see how things shape up.
The Rock to compete in a match before WrestleMania 41?
The Great One is expected to compete on The Grandest Stage of Them All next year. However, there is a good possibility that he might also lace up his boots to compete in a match before WrestleMania 41. The speculation arose in light of Cody Rhodes' recent comments on The Pat McAfee Show.
The SmackDown Superstar mentioned that the seeds of his potential title defense at Crown Jewel would be sown at Bad Blood. This seems to be an indication that The Rock could return for a match against Rhodes in Riyadh. The WWE shows in Saudi Arabia are known for high-profile matches.
Therefore, the Sports Entertainment juggernaut might have plans to feature the Hollywood star at the grand spectacle.
However, only time will tell if The Final Boss competes in a match before WrestleMania 41. The Bad Blood Premium Live Event will seemingly shed light on the direction and answer several questions that have been lingering in the minds of the WWE Universe.
