The Rock has addressed his WrestleMania 41 status with a concerned fan amid a report that he could miss the event next year.
Dave Meltzer wrote in his Wrestling Observer Newsletter this week that the legendary wrestler was currently “not scheduled for the show,” with a source adding that The Rock’s schedule became “too heavy” for him to fully commit to the event.
Evidently, that report reached some fans, and one of them asked ‘The People’s Champion’ directly in his Instagram comments if he would appear at the event next April.
‘Are you really not working on mania 41??? “Say it’s not like that,” they wrote.
The performer, whose real name is Dwayne Johnson, responded with an emphatic comment on Saturday night.
The Rock assured a fan that he would be at next year’s WrestleMania in Las Vegas, Nevada
He will reportedly face his real-life cousin Roman Reigns (right) in a triple threat match.
“Don’t believe any of that nonsense,” he wrote.
The Rock returned to WWE at Bad Blood last Saturday night after the main event, which featured the likes of Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes.
However, he did not commit to any of them, so it is currently unclear whether he will side with them or not.
A report during a recent WrestleVotes Q&A session regarding Sportskeeda Backstage Pass suggested that the trio will participate in a triple threat match at Wrestlemania.
“I can tell you that is on the table,” the report said.
‘I’m not sure if it’s been finalized in any way. It’s October. I doubt it’s been finalized, but that idea has already been floated and I think it makes more sense for the company to have those three guys in the ring.
There were initially plans for The Rock and Reigns to face each other this year at Wrestlemania, but WWE changed course to have Reigns face Rhodes after intense fan backlash.
Next year’s Wrestlemania will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on April 19-20.
