The Rock returned at the WWE RAW season premiere in Netflix Last night after a few months of absence. Surprisingly, he returned as Face, which unleashed rumors about his possible participation in Wrestlemania 41.
The return of the 'final boss' last year saw him become heel and join the OG Bloodline. He had an intense rivalry with Cody Rhodes on his way to Wrestlemania 40. After defeating The American Nightmare in a couples fight in The Show of Shows, he promised WWE's undisputed champion in RAW after Wrestlemania XL that his story had not finished. However, surprisingly, Rock appeared as Face last night in Raw. He thanked Rhodes for carrying the company on his shoulders for a year and hugged the 39 -year -old fighter. The Great One also acknowledged his cousin, Roman Reigns, as the undisputed tribal chief and put the Ula Fal around the neck after the victory of the OTC over only Sikoa.
Although The Rock in Raw actions led many to believe that it would not be part of WrestleMania 41, the former WWE Matt Morgan Suprestrella said in the podcast Gigantic Pop that the company still has the opportunity to schedule the 'final boss' in a fight against Reigns or Rhodes.
“I don't think it's something that can't get away and have that fight. Obviously, he will be against Roman or him against Cody. So you can still configure. And because you must remember one thing, with the rock promo, what was I doing? I was kissing Netflix, which had to do,” Morgan said.
