WWE fans on Twitter have gone wild at the latest update on The Rock's status for his rumored match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. The Hollywood star is yet to be locked in for the main event spot alongside his cousin at The Show of Shows.According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Great One indicated to WWE that he wouldn't have enough time to get into the right shape for a 'Mania match against Reigns. Several fans instantly claimed The Rock was lying because of his incredible physique and gym routine.However, there might be some substance to that claim. Being in shape is different from being 'ring ready,' as explained by Twitter user Stephanie Hypes. Despite that, the WWE Universe firmly believes The Rock will return at the Royal Rumble next Saturday before challenging Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.Check out some of their reactions:francesca ucey@beckysbicepsHe's lying. twitter.com/WrestlePurists…WrestlePurists@WrestlePuristsSince a deadline for WrestleMania plans is coming, The Rock indicated he won’t have time to get into the shape he feels he needs to be in to do a main event match vs Roman Reigns, but kept the door open for something in the future.- WON451Since a deadline for WrestleMania plans is coming, The Rock indicated he won’t have time to get into the shape he feels he needs to be in to do a main event match vs Roman Reigns, but kept the door open for something in the future.- WON https://t.co/TUX4jtfKp1He's lying. twitter.com/WrestlePurists…Louis Dangoor@TheLouisDangoorI think WWE/The Rock are trying to throw people off the scent right now.

Meltzer did state that it might be a secret. Edge did the same thing, outright denying his rumored return in the 2020 Royal Rumble Match. Of course, The Rated-R Superstar did return.WWE has teased The Rock's return at the Royal Rumble ahead of Roman Reigns matchThe company has aggressively hinted at The Rock returning and winning the Royal Rumble Match, which is why fans are unwilling to believe his apparent reason for not coming back. The biggest clue is the official poster for the Rumble Premium Live Event, which looks quite electrifying.WWE on BT Sport@btsportwweThe official #RoyalRumble poster is electrifying 225452342The official #RoyalRumble poster is electrifying 😍⚡️ https://t.co/Bs3FOK2w6FMeanwhile, Cody Rhodes' in-ring return at the Royal Rumble has been announced in advance, which makes one wonder if some bigger names are being kept as surprise entrants. The company has also released some new merchandise of The Rock, another indication of the return potentially happening.What are your thoughts on The Great One potentially winning the 2023 Men's Royal Rumble Match and challenging Roman Reigns at WrestleMania?
