Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s Rumored Post WrestleMania Feud, Return Date & Duration, Character Change & More Explored

This WrestleMania XL has the potential to surpass the best WrestleMania in the history of WWE with the promotion upping the ante consistently. Not only will it be celebrating the 40 years of Mania along with WWE 2K24, but one particular feud has anticipation reaching a boiling point. That would be the feud between Cody Rhodes and The Bloodline. What started out as a simple story being finished a year after it began, is now an ever-increasing snowball. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Seth Rollins have made their presence known and now we have matches on both Night #1 and #2 of WrestleMania. However, Johnson is reportedly leaving the WWE after it. Here is everything you need to know.

Dwayne Johnson to focus on his Hollywood shooting schedule from May 1 to August 1, 2024

Mike Johnson on PWInsider recently reported on Dwayne Johnson’s Hollywood schedule. The WWE legend dons the role of Mark Kerr in the biopic of the former UFC and PRIDE Fighting Champion. Titled, The Smashing Machine: The Life and Times of Mark Kerr, the casting process has begun. However, principal filming will begin on May 1. This is reported to last for the next three months until August. Moreover, delays and reshoots could extend this period. This is a project that had its roots in 2019. Production of the movie takes place in New Mexico, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Vancouver.

Johnson will be appearing on Night #1 of WrestleMania XL. This will be his first match since 2013. Teaming with his Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns, he is set to take on Rhodes and Rollins. With Mania taking place on April 6 and 7, Johnson may pack his bags from the WWE once Mania is over. So, the question remains, will he appear post-Mania? Reports suggest that the Hollywood star may appear at WWE SummerSlam on August 3.

However, the prospect of his return hasn’t come via official confirmation as the movie’s filming has yet to start. Speculation suggests that The Rock could betray his Tribal Chief at Mania to ensure Rhodes wins the WWE Universal title. This could lead to a Johnson vs Reigns feud.
