The Rock isn’t just dropping a WrestleMania 42 bombshell tonight—he’s stepping straight into the path of WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
According to WrestleVotes, the two will have a direct interaction on SmackDown, setting the stage for a moment that could shake up the road to WrestleMania 41.
This all comes after The Final Boss took to social media just hours before SmackDown, sharing a video of a Rolex ticking away. The watch, he revealed, was a gift from Cody Rhodes just five hours before their match at WrestleMania 40. “NEW ORLEANS, the Final Boss has arrived ✈️,” The Rock wrote. “This exact Rolex was the gift from our @WWE Champion @CodyRhodes to me, about 5 hours before our WrestleMania match at WM40. It’s time.”
While the meaning behind “It’s time” is still unclear, speculation is already running wild. With earlier reports confirming that The Rock is in New Orleans to officially announce WrestleMania 42 at the Superdome, the bigger question remains—is he also setting the stage for something more?
WWE has already shifted tonight’s lineup to accommodate The Rock’s return, including canceling Naomi vs. Liv Morgan to make room for his segment. The company has also confirmed a post-SmackDown press conference, where The Rock is expected to speak.
Now, with WrestleVotes confirming that The Rock and Cody Rhodes will go face-to-face, this could be the moment that finally answers the biggest question of all—is The Rock about to make his move for WrestleMania 41?
With the pieces falling into place, do you think The Rock is about to confirm his in-ring return? Drop your thoughts below!
