WWE and Dwayne Johnson Agreed on a Preliminary Agreement Backstage Before Coming Live on TV

WWE world finally got a piece of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Fans’ long-yearning to see the 10-time world champion back in the squared circle finally manifested with the legendary superstar stepping foot in the ring at last week’s SmackDown. With a major pop, nearly 14,000 psyched-up fans tried to live every bit of the breathtaking moment to the fullest. Following his fascinating segment with Austin Theory and Pat McAfee, the returned megastar garnered a lot of blowing reception from several superstars during backstage interactions.

However, at the backdrop of the celebration, most of the fans were left with the sole question of what the company has in their heads regarding pushing The Holywood mogul for this surprise appearance. Well, to all of them, WWE reportedly had a half-known agreement with him.

The Rock had a backstage deal with WWE before his rampant return at SmackDown

There was major speculation about The Rock’s appearance on the card of WrestleMania or SummerSlam, with stars like Grayson Waller constantly taking digs at him. But it proved to be a massive disappointment for fans as they didn’t spot the wrestler anywhere in any big live events. But now, given that The Rock already reverted to the ring, it naturally raised curiosity about his future storylines in the company.

Although nothing much has been known regarding that, a recent backstage update revealed The Rock will have another meeting with WWE to discuss a variety of storylines. This is according to long term WWE insider BWE.

With Cody Rhodes still sitting atop the creative priority lists, can Johnson get his desired WrestleMania match with Roman Reigns? Let’s dig deeper.

Can The Rock face off against his cousin Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40? 

Before appearing at the SmackDown stage last week, The Rock sat for an interview with Pat McAfee where he made his intention clear. He wanted to face off against Roman Reigns, and that too, at the grandest stage of wrestling next year. He also revealed that it was a scraped plan from WrestleMania 39 card.

But on the flip side, Cody Rhodes has been waiting with bated breath to finish his story since last year. He has proved himself enough to earn that opportunity already. Now, WWE snubbing him for another whole year sounds a bit unfeasible.

With The Rock possibly in the mix, WWE won’t be short of options but will need to tread carefully regarding the storyline for The Brahma Bull and Reigns while taking Rhodes into account.
