The Rock made the road to WrestleMania XL an exciting affair with his involvement in the Cody Rhodes-Roman Reigns saga after the Royal Rumble. Before going on a hiatus from WWE, he had promised Rhodes that he would be back for the title. However, The Great One's opponent for the main event at the Show of Shows next year may be dependent on a crucial decision WWE makes once the Netflix deal kicks in.

On the episode of RAW after WrestleMania XL, The Rock congratulated Cody Rhodes for winning the Undisputed WWE Championship and handed him something before taking time off from the promotion. He let the American Nightmare know that his story with The Great One had only begun and that he would be back to face him in due time.

Xero News has reported that The Rock's opponent for WrestleMania 41 will be decided only after RAW streams on Netflix. The global entertainment platform has allegedly asked WWE to ensure that either Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes was moved to RAW.

The superstar who moves to the red brand will be the one that The Brahma Bull challenges at WrestleMania 41. In case Reigns is moved to WWE RAW, the World Heavyweight Championship will be put on him and eventually, he will defend the title against The People's Champion.


Which brand will The Rock be a part of in the build to WrestleMania 41?

The Rock was last seen in WWE on the episode of RAW after WrestleMania XL. Before heading on his own path, he congratulated Cody Rhodes for beating Roman Reigns but assured him that their paths would cross in the future.

In a report by Xero News, The Great One will be a permanent part of WWE RAW when he eventually returns. He will face either Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes on Night Two of WrestleMania 41 after it is decided which of the two superstars will be heading to the red brand.

Rocky is seemingly set to be a part of the red brand because of his non-PG promos and his Final Boss persona. The company allegedly sees the persona and the non-PG era on Netflix as a great fit for the future.
