The Rock was a key part of last year's WrestleMania, and seeing the traction he garnered, WWE surely needs him for this year's Show of Shows in Las Vegas.
The Rock commands a star power like no other in the entire world. He returned to WWE in a more significant role, first as a member of the TKO Board and then as a part of the main storyline heading into WrestleMania 40. However, there have been reports that The Final Boss might not be a part of the festivities of WrestleMania this year.
However, The Rock's involvement in WrestleMania season proved to be a remarkable success last year like no other. Witnessing that, here are the three reasons WWE needs The Rock at WrestleMania 41 in some capacity:
3. The Rock still has the ability to deliver exceptional in-ring showdown
The WWE Universe witnessed the return of The Rock to the ring eight years after his last match at WrestleMania 32. He and his cousin Roman Reigns teamed up to battle Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the main event of WrestleMania 40 Night 1 in a high-stakes match. The Final Boss proved his mettle as an in-ring competitor, stepping in the ring after many years and establishing that 'he still got it.' The match had major eyeballs to it because of The Rock's first match and his power-packed performance.
2. Mega star power
The Rock has a star power like no other celebrity in the world. He is one of the most accomplished WWE superstars of all time. Following his success in the global juggernaut, The Great One transitioned to Hollywood for more success. His hard work and dedication led to him becoming the highest-paid actor in Hollywood. With his amazing stature, personality, and influence worldwide, WWE's WrestleMania 41 can use that star power and traction to make it an even bigger success than last year.
1. Dream match with Roman Reigns
The wrestling fans were very close to witnessing the mega dream match between the Samoan megastars, The Rock and Roman Reigns, last year at WrestleMania 40. However, the rising support for Cody Rhodes led to WWE altering the original plans for The Show of Shows in Philidelphia last year. With that story done and dusted, there had speculations for a year that WrestleMania 41 would be the perfect place for the dream match to finally happen. Therefore, The Rock returning to WrestleMania for a mega match with Reigns is what WWE needs to make this year's WrestleMania a blockbuster show.
