Is there any hope left for The Rock to compete at WrestleMania 39?
The 2023 WWE Royal Rumble concluded last weekend with no sign of The People's Champion. Many fans expected a surprise return of The Brahma Bull in some form or fashion to set up a match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39.

On the latest episode of To Be The Man podcast, Ric Flair spoke about The Rock and the potential of the People's Champion possibly returning to WWE to work a match at WrestleMania 39.

"And what doesn't he have scheduled? He never stops," Ric Flair said. "My hat's off to him, man. He just stays, stays, stays, and stays and he's great at what he does. Plus he owns the XFL now, he's accomplished so much. As far as The Rock goes, obviously he doesn't need the money. And if he did it, I don't see him doing a favor and why would he? To go into Hollywood the next day as the biggest star in Hollywood or arguably one of the -- yeah, I think probably the biggest star in Hollywood.

"An absolute honor to present the most prestigious award in music. What a stage. What a night. What a celebration of music and amazing performances! Join us THIS SUN! *breakin' out the tequila early *winking face emoji* *tequila shot emoji* @CBS @RecordingAcad #GRAMMYS," Dwayne Johnson tweeted.
