Big update on The Rock's WrestleMania 41 status amidst confusion (Exclusive)

There has been a lot of confusion surrounding The Rock's WrestleMania 41 status following conflicting reports. A new report has now emerged, giving clarity on what the backstage news is about whether he'll be at the Grandest Stage of Them All or not.

In the latest episode of WrestleVotes Radio exclusively on Backstage Pass, there was a discussion about the WWE legend's WrestleMania status following all the recent reports, one of which was dismissed by The Final Boss himself.

JoeyVotes and TC explained that WWE officials have always expected The Rock to be available for WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. While The Brahma Bull hasn't been the one making the big decisions, he has reportedly given his blessing to the creative direction, which is, of course, the rumored match featuring him, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes.

It should be noted that things can still change, but the way it has all played out, the higher-ups in WWE are making plans assuming that he will be there.

The Rock announced a collaboration that was "years in the making!"

The Rock sat down with Hollywood Elite writer, producer, and director J.J. Abrams to announce a collaboration that was years in the making. In case you aren't aware, Abrams is the man behind the Disney Star Wars trilogy, the 2009 Star Trek film, and several other major projects.

His movies have grossed billions, making him one of the highest-grossing directors of all time. Whether it's for a movie or another project is unknown, but having two major names such as Dwayne Johnson and J.J. Abrams means that big things are on the horizon.

Many felt that The Final Boss lost a lot of momentum in his film career, which is why he returned to WWE, but this is a sign that he might only be getting started.
