The Rock is preparing to return to WWE? When “The Most Powerful Man in Hollywood” can face John Cena for the last time!
A news that shocked both the entertainment world and wrestling fans: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has just officially announced that he has completed all filming for 2025. This means that the “muscle star” will temporarily leave Hollywood for the next few months – and the door to returning to WWE is wider than ever.
According to IndieWire, The Rock has finished two major projects: Moana (live-action) and The Smashing Machine. Both films are considered important milestones in his film career, affirming his position as “the most expensive man on the planet”. However, after closing these two projects, The Rock’s schedule is completely empty until January or February 2026, when he begins filming What Happens At Night with Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio.
It was this nearly half-year “break” that made the WWE community boil with rumors that The Rock could return to the ring. And what excited fans even more — he was said to be the final opponent of John Cena in a match considered “the legend of legends”.
Both The Rock and John Cena are two of the biggest icons in WWE history. The two have had classic confrontations that made tens of millions of viewers around the world hold their breath. After leaving the ring to pursue the path of Hollywood, both became global superstars. However, fans always expect a “worthy end” to this iconic feud.
Many sources inside WWE believe that, with John Cena also announcing his upcoming retirement, this may be the only chance for the two legends to close the story that has lasted for more than a decade. A match between The Rock and Cena, billed as “The Final Showdown”, would undoubtedly be the biggest sports-entertainment event of the decade.
It is worth noting that The Rock has also recently appeared at a number of WWE events, as if to “test the audience reaction” before officially returning. He still maintains an extremely toned physique, strong spirit and confident demeanor – all of which suggest that he is ready for one last time in the ring.
Meanwhile, John Cena has also made no secret of his intention to end his career in a truly memorable match. A reunion between these two icons could be the perfect farewell gift for those who have been associated with WWE for many years.
If this comes true, The Rock vs John Cena: The Final Match will certainly become a historic milestone, not only for WWE but for the entire entertainment world. After years of conquering Hollywood, perhaps it’s time for The Rock to return to where it all began — the ring where he was once known by two words: “Legend.”
