So, I saw this thing online about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson possibly making a comeback to WWE, and I got all hyped up. I’m a huge fan, you know? Been following him since his early wrestling days. This whole speculation about his return got me digging, and I wanted to share what I found and how I went about it.
First off, I hit up the usual spots – wrestling news sites, forums, and social media. There was a ton of chatter after this Bad Blood 2024 event in Atlanta. Apparently, The Rock showed up after being MIA for a few months. Last anyone saw him, he was in some big feud with Cody Rhodes. But then, bam, he’s back in the WWE scene.

I started piecing things together. I read that Bad Blood 2024 wasn’t just about The Rock. There were others like Raquel Rodriguez, Jimmy Uso, and even some old-school folks like Lilian Garcia and Mickie James making appearances. Even some Hall of Famers like Booker T and Jacqueline showed up. It was like a reunion!
- Dug through wrestling news sites and forums.
- Checked out social media for fan reactions and rumors.
- Noted key events like Bad Blood 2024 in Atlanta.
Then there was this talk about WrestleMania 41. Word is, WWE doesn’t want to spill all the beans about the card way in advance. Makes sense, gotta keep the fans guessing, right?
I also stumbled upon some stuff about The Rock being at the 2025 Golden Globes, and then, just hours later, he’s kicking off the Netflix premiere of WWE’s Raw at the Intuit Dome in LA. Busy guy!
- Followed the buzz around WrestleMania 41.
- Tracked The Rock’s public appearances, like the Golden Globes.
There was also this official-sounding announcement about him returning to the WWE circuit on Netflix’s premiere of RAW. After being away for two months, he’s set to make a “triumphant return” to WWE on RAW. I’m like, okay, this is getting real.
And then I dug into why he was away in the first place. Turns out, he’s been filming for this movie, The Smashing Machine. Filming wraps up in August 2024, so that explains the hiatus.
- Read official announcements about his return on Netflix’s RAW.
- Found out about his filming schedule for The Smashing Machine.
But here’s the kicker: The Rock returned at WWE Bad Blood 2024 after Jimmy Uso helped Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. The Rock showed up, and everyone went nuts. I even saw some tags online like #TheRock, #DwayneJohnson, #RomanReigns. It was trending!
And get this, I read that he’s back under his ring name, ‘The Rock’, and there’s this huge rivalry brewing. He even talked about what it felt like wrestling again. It’s like he never left!

- Confirmed his appearance at Bad Blood 2024.
- Noted the trending hashtags and the buzz around his return.
- Heard him talk about his return to wrestling.
So yeah, that’s the gist of what I found. It’s all pretty exciting. I mean, The Rock back in WWE? That’s huge! I’m definitely keeping an eye on this. Who knows what’s gonna happen next?
