NEW DELHI: The wrestling world is abuzz with speculation as WWE gears up for WrestleMania, and the recent surprise return of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson on RAW’s Day 1 has added an intriguing layer to the conversation.
The latest reports from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggest that WWE is considering a last-minute Royal Rumble entrance for The Rock, with the potential twist of him winning the match.
While not officially advertised for any appearances at Tropicana Field, The Rock’s return has sparked discussions about various possibilities, including the idea of him headlining WrestleMania against Universal Champion Roman Reigns. This hypothetical scenario opens the door to The Rock making a surprise entrance in the Royal Rumble, a concept that has been contemplated in previous years when the notion of him headlining WrestleMania was on the table.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter outlined the current favorites for the Royal Rumble, with stars like CM Punk and Cody Rhodes leading the pack, followed by Gunther, Bron Breakker (Knight), and The Rock.
The idea of The Rock entering late in the Royal Rumble and securing a victory, though not highly probable, has been discussed in the past, especially when considering the potential of him headlining WrestleMania.
The decision ultimately rests in the hands of Dwayne Johnson, and whether he is willing and available to participate in WWE’s marquee event. Traditionally, the winner of the Royal Rumble earns a shot at one of the world titles at WrestleMania, and the landscape for this year’s event remains uncertain until the outcomes of both the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber are determined.
