The Final Boss Returns
OTC vs The Rock at WrestleMania 41?
This past weekend at WWE Bad Blood, The Rock made his much-anticipated return after the main event match that saw Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns defeat Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.
The deep-rooted Bloodline storyline is a gift that keeps on giving within the WWE Universe. Since The Tribal Chiefs' departure from the WWE after losing the WWE Universal Championship to The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40, Bloodline 2.0 has received a mixed reception from WWE fans.
The Rock's return wasn't the only surprise the WWE had in store at Bad Blood. Former WWE RAW & SmackDown Tag Team Champion Jimmy Uso also made his long-awaited return.
FINAL BOSS. ENGAGED.
After the credits of WWE Bad Blood, The Final Boss took to his 395 Million followers on Instagram to deliver a classic Rock promo, further teasing events to come.
Triple H shares his thoughts.
During the WWE Bad Blood Press Conference, Triple H, the Chief Content Officer, shared his thoughts on The Rock's return.
“The Rock showing up. You have to be the biggest star in the world to be able to hit your music, walk out, blow the roof off the place, and I’m out. And it’s epic.”
WrestleMania 41 Predictions
Even though we're still months away from the official start of 'WrestleMania' season, which traditionally is considered to start after the Royal Rumble, it's hard not to think that The Rock's recent return is the first tease to long-waited matchup against the O.T.C Roman Reigns. A match that we probably should've seen last year at WrestleMania 40 before the WWE Universe had other plans.
Earlier this year, on June 14, 2024, via ESPN, Dwayne Johnson was quoted saying.
“We’re on the 1-yard line to create the biggest WrestleMania of all time and the biggest match of all time at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. I’ll just leave it at that, Final Boss style.”

WrestleMania 41 takes place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, on April 19/20, 2025. Although we are still six months away from WWE's largest event of the year, and anything can happen before then, The Rock vs. Roman Reigns could potentially shape up to be the biggest main event match in WWE history.
