WWE WrestleMania 40 Night 1 main event: Is The Rock competing?
For the first time since 2016, The Rock will compete in a WrestleMania match. "The Final Boss" will team with his cousin Roman Reigns to face Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
The Rock initially challenged Reigns for the "Head of the Table" moniker. However, following fan backlash and a change in booking, The Rock joined The Bloodline and entered a feud with Rhodes. The two have since verbally attacked one another, with The Rock giving Rhodes a physical beatdown before WrestleMania.
"The Final Boss" persona combines the classic Rock character with the heel Hollywood Rock persona from the early 2000s.
