The Rock to make a surprise appearance at WWE Crown Jewel? Chances explored

The Rock recently shocked the fans with his surprise return at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event. If you're wondering if something similar could happen at WWE Crown Jewel 2024, we've got some analysis for you.

At WWE Bad Blood, The Rock made a surprise return after Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes defeated Solo Sikoa. He stared at both the babyfaces, potentially hinting at a rivalry with both of them. Fans may wonder if he could have a similar surprise in store for Crown Jewel to start building towards a WrestleMania 41 rivalry.

While there may be speculations of a surprise comeback, it is doubtful. While The Final Boss could appear via satellite, he is unlikely to physically appear as the show is in Saudi Arabia. Considering his busy schedule, fans should not expect him to appear in Saudi Arabia unless there are reports of him being at the location.

In case he appears via satellite or pre-recorded video package, he could distract Cody Rhodes during his match against Gunther.

Recent update on The Rock's return ahead of WWE Crown Jewel 2024

While The Rock may not appear at WWE Crown Jewel, he is expected to return early next year to start building towards a potential WrestleMania 41 main event feud involving himself, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes.

On January 6, 2025, WWE RAW will officially air its debut episode on Netflix. The Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, will host the premiere episode, and according to a recent report from Fightful Select, sources at the location are hopeful of The Great One's appearance on January 6. The report also noted that the Hollywood star will appear in WWE in a "sporadic fashion."

WWE Bad Blood left fans with more questions than answers as The Rock raised his eyebrow, looking at both Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. While this could lead to a Triple Threat WrestleMania 41 main event, nothing is confirmed currently. Plans could change, and fans could get something even better than anticipated.
