Dwayne Johnson’s shocking return surprisingly amassed nearly 83 million views across the company’s official social media platforms in 24 hours. It is indeed a monumental achievement for any wrestler since the last one to set the highest in 24 hours was CM Punk. Actually, Punk’s unexpected return garnered more than 40 million views in less than 24 hours, crushing social media.

Interestingly, Punk also surpassed Dwayne Johnson’s SmackDown return in September, which also took the internet by storm. However, The Rock yet again came back, and this time he took over the driver’s seat to clinch the victory. As of now, the realm of pro wrestling is completely blank about Dwayne Johnson’s plans in the WWE.

It has to be seen if Dwayne Johnson challenges Roman Reigns in the future as we just saw him taking a subtle dig at his cousin. So can there be his story-ending feud with Reigns? Let’s analyze.

When exactly can WWE plan Reigns vs Rock in 2024?

Johnson’s subtle mention of Roman Reigns could signify a feud in the future. However, no one is sure if it will take place at WrestleMania. Remember, Cody Rhodes is still left to end the story. His prime intention to join the WWE was to attend the main event of WrestleMania and win the WWE championship. The fans and pundits still believe that he could be the A-lister to dethrone Roman Reigns.

Even the administration of Australia showed interest in having The Rock on the show. So it will be interesting to see when will this happen.
