The Rock and his in-ring return at Wrestlemania has been a talking point for the WWE Universe for quite some time. After a wait of more than three years, the chances are likely that WWE could finally secure the megastar to make the anticipated match against Roman Reigns happening at the Biggest Event of them All as he recently made a return to Smackdown TV.
Since then, a lot of speculations have been heard about The Rock and his future plans with the WWE which included appearing at the final PLE before Wrestlemania 40. This will be the 2024 edition of Elimination Chamber at Perth’s Optus Stadium which recently reached 80,000 pre-registrations in just 48 hours, essentially signaling that WWE will provide a sell-out crowd while visiting Australia.
To meet the expectations of the WWE Universe in Australia in a huge stadium, the company will need some bigger names onboard and The Rock is one of those. According to the previous reports from The West Australian, there are talks of The People’s Champion wrestling at this event, to set up his match against Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 40.
