In 2024, Dwayne Johnson made a comeback to the WWE as The Rock, sparking a titanic rivalry. The 52-year-old Final Boss recently talked about what it was like to wrestle. At WrestleMania 40, The Rock reportedly hoped to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Fans prevented him from getting the easy passage he sought, which would have seen Cody Rhodes lose as Reigns' opponent.

Rather, The Rock and Roman Reigns faced Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the main event of WrestleMania 40's first night. Johnson talked about what it was like to get back in the ring for the first time in eleven years during the opening of Cirque du Soleil 'Auana in Honolulu. In a conversation with
People Magazine, The Rock said:
"It’s incredibly hard. The training becomes really extensive, and the training camp becomes extensive. So, I went [to] training camp for WrestleMania, which was about an eight-to-nine week training camp," he added. "It’s really fast, and fortunately, I was able to get through it all.”
Despite returning to the squared circle after more than ten years, the Final Boss displayed no signs of ring rust. He played a key role in his team's victory over Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes. In his interview, he referred to the three men as "great dance partners". Dwayne Johnson might make a comeback to the WWE as The Rock.
Needless to say, Triple H will have a lot of plans for WWE RAW when it moves to Netflix in January 2025. Another major rivalry for The Final Boss may result from The Rock's appearance on the first episode, which airs on January 6, 2025.
Furthermore, Johnson had two massive successful movies this year. Moana 2, is in theaters now, while Red One is streaming on Prime Video. However, the Moana 2 actor might show up during Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa's Tribal Combat. He might challenge the victor to a final Tribal Battle for the Ula Fala at WrestleMania 41, or he might assist Sikoa in winning the match.
