The Rock was in cahoots to finish his story before fans stood up for Cody: When did he originally plan his WWE return?

As WrestleMania 40 approaches, there has been much discussion surrounding The Rock. Since his heel turn, The Final Boss has been determined to prevent Cody Rhodes from completing his narrative. Was this decision made in the heat of the moment upon his January return, or was there more thought put into his comeback than initially thought?

Despite initial appearances, The Rock’s return was not entirely unexpected. The possibility of him facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL only became a realistic option after his surprise appearance at RAW Day 1. The events that followed, such as him temporarily taking Rhodes’ spot in the main event, may have seemed sudden, but a recent Instagram post by The Brahma Bull indicates that this was all planned ahead of time.

Recently, The Rock posted on social media, implying that his comeback to WWE has had a significant impact on ratings. In his post, he expresses his joy in witnessing such a positive change. Moreover, he acknowledges his collaboration with TKO Group and WWE for more than a year in order to “enhance the company’s value and pave the way for WrestleMania 40.”

“Over a year of strategizing with my @tkogrp @wwe partners, Ari, Nick & Mark on how to bring the greatest value to the company and set up WRESTLEMANIA 40 this weekend as the biggest of all time,”wrote The Rock

This indicates that his comeback has been planned for a considerable amount of time. In simpler terms, the decision to prevent Cody Rhodes from completing his storyline was made a year in advance. This news certainly comes as a surprise, just days before their highly anticipated tag team match at WrestleMania 40. The match will feature The Rock and Roman Reigns facing off against Rhodes and Seth Rollins on Night One of the event.

The Rock will continue to be involved with WWE after WrestleMania 40

Despite his busy schedule, it is undeniable that The Rock is a hardworking individual. Juggling his various businesses and successful Hollywood acting career, many speculate that he may leave the wrestling world after WrestleMania 40.

Despite previous speculation that he would be departing after the premium live event, Brian Gewirtz, Dwayne Johnson’s close confidant and business partner, has clarified that this will not be the case. In an interview with ESPN, Gewirtz, the former WWE head writer, stated that Johnson will remain involved with WWE in the future and will not be leaving immediately after the event.

The current state of affairs in WWE is undeniably captivating. The journey to WrestleMania has been incredibly exciting and full of surprises. It’s safe to say that the WWE Universe is eagerly anticipating what will unfold at The Show of Shows.
