The Rock returned to WWE programming at the Bad Blood premium live event to essentially fuel up his involvement at Wrestlemania 41, next year. Follow-up reports were also available regarding the planned match around him until it was scrapped. However, he himself commented on social media to indicate that he should be involved in WWE’s planning at the Show of Shows.
After Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns defeated Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu in the main event of Bad Blood, The Rock came out at the very end of Bad Blood to exchange intense glances with Rhodes. This was a genuine tease about their impending match that was reportedly scheduled for Wrestlemania 41 in 2025.

Upon learning this, a fan commented on social media addressing The Rock under an Instagram post, “Are you really not working Mania 41??? Say it ain’t so!” The Rock replied the following to squash negative rumors around him for Wrestlemania 41, “Don’t believe any of that bullsh*t.”
