The Rock has not been seen in WWE for a while now, but with Wrestlemania around the corner, will he make a return?
The Rock’s History with WWE
The Rock is a highly successful actor and producer, but he got his start in WWE. He was a third-generation Superstar and quickly became one of the most popular WWE Superstars of all time. He left WWE in 2004 to pursue his acting career, but has returned for several special appearances. Will he ever return full-time?
His Rise to Fame
The Rock’s debut match was at Survivor Series in 1996, where he was one of five men on Team WWE (then known as the World Wrestling Federation) who defeated Team Alliance. The Rock quickly became one of the biggest stars in WWE, and was involved in some of the company’s most memorable storylines. He feuded with Mankind over the WWE Championship, and their “I Quit” match at Royal Rumble in 1999 is widely considered to be one of the greatest matches in WWE history. The Rock also had memorable feuds with Triple H, Kurt Angle, and Hulk Hogan.
In 2000, The Rock left WWE to pursue a career in Hollywood. He would make occasional appearances for WWE over the next few years, but he didn’t return to a full-time role until 2011. Since then, he has appeared sporadically for WWE, most notably at WrestleMania 32 in 2016, where he defeats Erick Rowan in six seconds.
His Departure from WWE
On May 6, 2004, The Rock returned to WWE (then known as World Wrestling Entertainment) after a five-year hiatus to take part in that year’s WrestleMania. However, that would be the last time The Rock would appear on WWE programming for almost eight years. In January 2013, it was finally revealed why The Rock had not returned to WWE since his one-off appearance at WrestleMania XX: he had backstage heat with Vince McMahon.
According to The Rock himself, the issue started when he refused to do a pre-taped promo for that year’s WrestleMania. McMahon was apparently not happy with The Rock’s decision and the two have not spoken since.

Since then, he has had major success in movies such as The Fast and the Furious franchise, Central Intelligence, Moana, and more. In recent years, he has hinted at a possible return to WWE. Is The Rock’s return to WWE inevitable?
His Return at WrestleMania
On April 1, 2018, The Rock returned to WWE at WrestleMania 34 after a five-year absence to help his cousin Roman Reigns in his match against Brock Lesnar.
His Feud with John Cena
Dwayne Johnson, also known by his ring name The Rock, is an American actor, producer, and semi-retired professional wrestler. Johnson was a college 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 CFL two months into the 1995 season, he began training for a career in professional wrestling. He was promoted to WWE’s main roster in 1996 and gained international recognition as a wrestler. He subsequently achieved success as a Hollywood actor and writer. His films have grossed over $3.5 billion in North America and over $10.5 billion worldwide, making him one of the highest-grossing actors of all time.
The Rock’s Current WWE Status
The Rock is one of the most popular WWE Superstars of all time. He hasn’t been seen in a WWE ring since WrestleMania 32 in 2016. There have been rumors that he might return soon, but nothing has been confirmed. The Rock is currently busy with his movie career, but that doesn’t mean he won’t return to WWE at some point.
His Current Projects
While The Rock has not officially retired from WWE, he has not wrestled since WrestleMania 32 in 2016. The Rock currently has numerous movie projects lined up, including an upcoming sequel to the franchise “Jumanji”. He is also set to star and produce a new HBO comedy series called ” Ballers”. With his current busy schedule, it is unlikely that The Rock will return to WWE in the near future.
His Potential Return to WWE
The Rock is one of the most popular WWE Superstars of all time. Fans have been clamoring for his return to WWE for years. While The Rock has said he is open to returning to WWE, he has not made any concrete plans to do so.
There are a number of factors that could influence The Rock’s decision to return to WWE. One factor is his current movie career. The Rock has had immense success in Hollywood, and it’s possible that he might not want to risk jeopardizing his acting career by wrestling again.
Another factor is his age. The Rock is now 47 years old, and while he is in incredible shape, it’s possible that he might not feel comfortable getting back in the ring with much younger opponents.
Finally, The Rock has a family now, and it’s possible that he might not want to put them through the rigors of a wrestling schedule.
Only time will tell if The Rock will return to WWE, but it’s certainly something that fans would love to see happen.
