Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been absent from WWE since this past March’s Elimination Chamber 2025, which was notable for featuring John Cena’s heel turn moment and him joining forces with Johnson and Travis Scott.
Raffi Talks held a recent interview with Johnson. One of the topics discussed included Johnson’s thoughts about if he has had negotiations with WWE for his potential involvement at next year’s WrestleMania 43 event in Saudi Arabia.
“I can tell you I’m excited for the brand of WrestleMania. I’m excited for the Kingdom because that is a big show. I’m also excited, not only for the brand, but I’m excited for our athletes to be able to participate in an event like that, and that is a global event. I can’t wait. In terms of the conversations I’ve been having, it’s all good. It will always be good.”
