Latest Update On The Rock’s “Free Agent” Role In WWE Upon 2025 Return

As WWE’s move to Netflix inches closer in early 2025, rumours are also rife about The Rock’s return to the company for his next tenure, as he played a key role in making the TV deal happen between the two parties.

Plus, with the WrestleMania 41 season starting at a similar time span, The Final Boss's presence on WWE programming is expected, given his extensive unfinished business with Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.

However, his packed schedule in Hollywood might have jeopardized his in-ring involvement upon the anticipated WWE return. In other news, a reliable source has positively indicated his comeback, and we should get to see him swinging around Raw and SmackDown.

WrestleVotes shared the latest information regarding The Rock’s current status with the WWE affirming his return to TV in early 2025, “Is he gonna be around more? Yes. Is he gonna be scouted to a specific brand? No.”

Also, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter had already dismissed all the speculations claiming that The Rock’s busy schedule won’t allow the top Hollywood star power to get involved at the biggest premium live event of 2025 that's WrestleMania 41 is going to be.

Dave Meltzer of WON added that the decision of the return ultimately lies with The Great One and that WWE is targeting to finalize his role by the time of the 2025 Royal Rumble in February.

For the time being, The Brahma Bull is expected to be in attendance at the premiere episode of Monday Night Raw emanating from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles as WWE has included him in the promotional material.

In October, the former WWE Champion stunned the fans with his surprise return at the Bad Blood PLE that merely lasted for a minute to have a staredown with Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.

This confrontation keeps the door open about a future match against any one of the two or a triple threat featuring the trio at WrestleMania 41. More on the saga should unfold on the highly-anticipated debut of Raw on Netflix, set for January 6, 2025.
