The Rock in 2025: Insider speculates the Final Boss’ WWE calendar ahead of New Year

The Rock’s return to WWE has been highly anticipated, especially considering John Cena’s retirement tour in 2025. Fans expect the two veterans in professional wrestling to collide, at least, one more time. Amid the anticipation, WWE insider Dave Meltzer has recently speculated on The Final Boss’ 2025 calendar teasing that The Rock will be involved in WWE’s upcoming storylines. While nothing has been confirmed as of yet, his return to WWE would be a major boost to the coming year’s plans.

The Rock is still the biggest name among the active WWE superstars. While the part-time WWE star, full-time actor, and businessman has a very tight schedule, he is expected to be present at WWE’s major events in 2025, including Raw’s historic debut to streaming as the Red Brand is set to move to Netflix on January 6.
Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio has recently speculated that The Final Boss will dedicate much of his time to WWE. "I don't know if he's showing up or not [at the Netflix premiere]," Meltzer said.
"I would expect that he's going to be on that show in some form, but nobody's confirmed it or anything like that to me. I just figure it's a spot where Netflix is going to want him there, I think he's going to want to be there on the most viewed show, just for that. What he's going to do is going to depend on his schedule,” he continued.

John Cena is reportedly starting his retirement tour in 2025 starting with Raw’s Netflix debut and WWE may add a major story involving the duo. However, The People’s Champion’s schedule for WWE is still under wraps.
Meltzer added, "If he's got something at Mania, I would expect he'll shoot the angle right there. And if he's not going to be at WrestleMania, wrestling...I'm sure he'll be at Mania, don't get me wrong. I'm sure that he'll be there that day. Whether he'll have a match is the question. And that just depends on, you know, him...But yeah. I don't know if he's going to wrestle at WrestleMania, and I think that January 6, when that first Netflix show is over, I think that we'll probably have an answer, I would think."

Of course, The Brahma Bull has been in a huge feud with Cody Rhodes and he did not hesitate to tease his potential feud with the WWE Undisputed Champion. However, Rhodes has been sidelined following Kevin Owens’ brutal package piledriver. WWE has recently shared that Rhodes has been officially diagnosed with axial compression of the cervical spine, as well as a cervical strain with spasm. So, he will be absent from the promotion for quite a while. Regardless, there is ample time for his recovery and The Rock may jump right onto Rhodes’ title after his return.
