Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson generated huge buzz with his return to TV last week on WWE SmackDown. The Rock cut a promo on last week’s show, expressing his desire to elevate Cody Rhodes and help him become the Undisputed WWE Champion.

The Rock teased a feud with Rhodes on the RAW after WrestleMania 40. He would take an extended hiatus from WWE, returning at Bad Blood in October 2024. He came out after Reigns and Rhodes teamed at the PLE and seemingly teased feuds with both of them.

The Rock's return to SmackDown left everyone speechless, because almost no one expected him to appear in WWE at this point of the 'Road to WrestleMania 41'. The latest rumors about the future of the former world champion were not very optimistic and it was thought that he would certainly skip the 'Showcase of the Immortals',
