Contents
Many fans are wondering when The Rock will be making his return to WWE in 2021. While there’s no official word yet, we’re taking a look at some of the rumors and speculation to see when The Rock might be back in a WWE ring.
Introduction
Dwayne Johnson, also known by his ring name The Rock, is an American actor, producer, businessman, retired professional wrestler, and former football player. He was a collegiate football player for the University of Miami, where he won a national championship on the 1991 Miami Hurricanes team. After being cut from the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (CFL), he began training as a professional wrestler.
In 1996, Johnson secured a contract with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which was renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2002. He rose to prominence after developing a charisma-driven persona of a brashly confrontational tough guy, which earned him the nickname “The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment”. His eight year career with WWE saw him become one of the company’s most prolific pay-per-view performers and one of its biggest draws. As part of WWE’s Attitude Era in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Johnson gained mainstream prominence within wrestling.
He left WWE in 2004 to pursue an acting career full-time; he returned sporadically for guest appearances until settling full-time in 2011. Since then he has regularly appeared on WWE programming such as Raw and SmackDown. In 2019 and 2020, Johnson was ranked first on Forbes’ list of the world’s highest-paid actors..
What Happened To The Rock?
It’s been almost a year since The Rock last stepped foot in a WWE ring. The fans have been clamoring for his return ever since. So, what happened to The Rock?
The Rock’s last WWE appearance was at WrestleMania 32 in April of 2016. He made a surprise appearance during the main event, helping out his cousin Roman Reigns as he took on Triple H for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. After that, he was nowhere to be found.
Many fans speculated that The Rock was taking some time off to focus on his Hollywood career. He has starred in several movies over the past few years, including the recent blockbuster movies “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” and “Skyscraper.”
However, it seems that The Rock’s absence from WWE may have more to do with his personal life than his professional life. In August of 2016, just a few months after his last WWE appearance, The Rock announced that he and his longtime girlfriend Lauren Hashian were expecting their second child together.
Their daughter Tiana was born in April of 2018, and it’s possible that The Rock has been taking time off to spend with his young family. He has talked about how important fatherhood is to him in interviews, and it seems like he wants to be there for every step of his children’s lives.
Of course, there’s also the possibility that The Rock is simply too busy with his movie career to commit to regular appearances on WWE programming. Whatever the reason, fans are still hopeful that they will see him back in a WWE ring sometime soon.
When Is The Rock Coming Back To WWE?
fans are wondering when The Rock will make his return to WWE. The Rock has not been on WWE programming since he faced off against Erick Rowan at WrestleMania 32 in 2016.
While The Rock is not currently signed to a WWE contract, that does not mean that he cannot make occasional appearances on WWE programming. In the past, The Rock has made surprise appearances at WrestleMania and other major WWE events.
It is possible that The Rock could make a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 37, which is set to take place on April 10th and April 11th, 2021. However, it is also possible that The Rock will not return to WWE until 2022 or later.
What Will The Rock Do When He Returns?
The Rock’s return to WWE will no doubt be one of the hottest topics in wrestling when he finally makes his way back to the ring. The People’s Champion has not been seen in a WWE ring since he faced off against John Cena at WrestleMania 29 in 2013, and though he has made sporadic appearances on WWE programming since then, he has not had a match in nearly eight years.
This leaves many fans wondering what The Rock will do when he makes his highly anticipated return to WWE. Will he wrestle? Who will he wrestle? Will he finally get his hands on Brock Lesnar?
Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – when The Rock finally makes his way back to WWE, the entire wrestling world will be watching.
Conclusion
In conclusion, while The Rock has not given a date as to when he will be returning to WWE, it is highly speculated that he will make his grand return sometime in 2021. Based on his past returns, it is safe to say that fans can expect him to appear at least once during WWE’s WrestleMania event. In the meantime, fans can continue to enjoy The Rock’s many projects outside of WWE.
