Backstage update on The Rock's WWE schedule on the Road to WrestleMania 41 (Exclusive)

There are a lot of speculations when it comes to The Rock's WWE schedule on the Road to WrestleMania 41. The Final Boss last appeared at Bad Blood 2024, where he had a staredown with Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.

During a recent edition of Live Q&A on Backstage Pass, WrestleVotes provided an update on The Rock's WWE schedule on the Road to WrestleMania 41, noting that sources said it would be similar to this year.

"The only thing I've heard Joe, is it very similar to last year. You know, he'll show up probably on January 6th and he'll run through WrestleMania and then come April 20th when that show goes off the air, you probably won't see him again for a very long time. So that's what I expect." [11:22 onwards]

The People's Champion is expected to pop up during RAW's Netflix premiere on January 6. Rocky's current storyline is seemingly tied to both Rhodes and Reigns since all three men were involved heavily in the main event of WrestleMania XL Night Two, which saw The American Nightmare defeat The Original Tribal Chief for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Fans will have to wait to see what The Rock has in store for the WWE Universe. In the meantime, you can check out the complete Live Q&A podcast only on Backstage Pass.

About the author

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.

Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.

He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
