The Devil is in the details: WWE may have hinted at The Rock’s WrestleMania 41 and 42 opponents well in advance

The Rock made a shocking return to WWE during the recently concluded Bad Blood 2024 Premium Live Event. The Final Boss appeared during the closing moments of the show and left fans with more questions than answers.

However, WWE may have subtly teased The Rock's next two major matches at WrestleMania 41 and 42. As The Great One made his way out, he stared down the ring where Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and Jimmy Uso were present. The camera first panned to The American Nightmare and then to The Original Tribal Chief, which could symbolize what's to come.

The Rock vs. Cody Rhodes - WWE WrestleMania 41

The Rock vs. Cody Rhodes is arguably the biggest match the Stamford-based company could offer right now, especially considering the build-up to WrestleMania XL. On the fallout episode of RAW after The Show of Shows earlier this year, The Great One told The American Nightmare that while the latter's chapter with Roman Reigns might be closed, his story with The Rock was only beginning.

Reports suggest there is a strong possibility that this marquee match is being planned for WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the Undisputed WWE Championship potentially on the line.

The Rock vs. Roman Reigns - WrestleMania 42

WWE has been planning the dream match between Roman Reigns and The Rock for quite some time, and it was reportedly close to happening at WrestleMania XL before the huge pivot.

Now, the seeds are clearly being planted to set up this once-in-a-lifetime showdown, especially given all the twists and turns in The Bloodline Saga. One intriguing possibility is whether The Final Boss has been the mastermind behind The Bloodline's actions all this time, secretly pulling the strings to keep Roman Reigns in check.
