The Rock will debut a new character in 2025 and become WWE Champion, predict former stars

The entire world awaits The Rock's WWE return after his surprise appearance at WWE Bad Blood 2024. With RAW's debut episode on Netflix on the horizon, another massive return from The Final Boss is expected to make headlines around the world, with the possibility of a full-time run until WrestleMania.

Veterans Mark Henry and Tommy Dreamer discussed what to expect from WWE in 2025. The People's Champion's previous run around WrestleMania XL was overwhelming. After getting involved in the TKO Board of Directors, his character as The Final Boss elevated the entire Roman Reigns—Cody Rhodes story. This has left the WWE Universe wondering what the legend has in store for his return this time.

During a recent episode of the Busted Open podcast, Tommy Dreamer discussed what WWE would look like in 2025. The legend said The Brahma Bull would become a world champion this year.

“The Rock, the Final Boss, will be the WWE Champion,” stated Tommy Dreamer [13:20 onwards]

Further, Mark Henry addressed Dreamer's comments and added that showcasing a Vince McMahon-type character as The Final Boss could let him do anything he wanted in the business.

“The Rock, being world champion and with him being the Vince McMahon-type character, can do whatever he wants,” stated Mark Henry [13:40 onwards]
