The Rock‘s return changed the whole landscape of WWE. His involvement in The Bloodline and Cody Rhodes‘ rivalry broke all the records in terms of ratings. ‘The Brahma Bull’ had his first match in eight years against the duo of Rhodes and Seth Rollins, and eventually won. As of now, there are no plans for him to return to the ring for a match. 

According to the latest edition of WON, The Rock‘s next match has been talked about at next year’s WrestleMania. There is also a slight possibility of him having a match later this year. ‘Flex Kavana’ originally wanted to have a match with his cousin, Roman Reigns, but he would prefer to work with Cody Rhodes at next year’s WrestleMania.
