The Rock has also confirmed his next WWE appearance. He will be appearing at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event in Toronto, demanding an answer from Cody Rhodes. The Final Boss has asked for the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion's soul, suggesting that he sell his soul to him.
Rhodes' opponent for this year's WrestleMania is yet to be decided. The American Nightmare is expected to defend his title against the winner of the Men's Elimination Chamber.
