Congratulations to WWE legend The Rock

The Rock has been absent from WWE TV for a while. Amid his absence, he achieved a major milestone.

The Great One showed up at WWE before Elimination Chamber 2025 and asked Cody Rhodes to give him his soul. However, The American Nightmare turned him down during Elimination Chamber, which resulted in John Cena's iconic heel turn. Since then, The Final Boss has not been seen on WWE TV, and he wasn't even involved at WrestleMania 41.

Amid his absence, the WWE legend has been nominated for three awards at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. He was nominated for Favorite Movie Actor for Callum Drift in Red One, Favorite Male Animated Voice for Maui in Moana 2, and Favorite Song From A Movie for Can I Get A Chee-Hoo? from Moana 2. He was able to take home the award for Favorite Male Animated Voice. This was voted by viewers online. This is Dwayne Johnson's seventh overall win at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.

Jonathan Coachman claims Triple H is allegedly unhappy with The Rock's position in WWE

The Rock became a member of the Board of Directors of TKO last year. Following this, he was prominently featured in the storyline involving Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40.

However, this year, The Final Boss failed to even appear at the event, even though he was involved in John Cena's heel turn. It looked like Cena and The Great One would form an alliance, but that hasn't happened either, leaving fans puzzled.

Speaking on his Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, Jonathan Coachman said that Triple H was allegedly upset that The Final Boss is a member of TKO's board and hadn't shown up in the last few months.

"When I look at Triple H now, I see a guy that’s trying to stay in the mix when all the money guys are on one side. The Aris, The Rocks, and The Rock getting $45 million to not show up, you don’t think that pi**es Hunter off? That he gets $45 million, and we have not seen hide nor hair of The Great One since Elimination Chamber." (H/T - TJRWrestling)

It will be interesting to see when The Final Boss makes his next WWE appearance.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
