The Rock has shared a massive update that could fuel speculation about his potential WWE return. The Final Boss hasn't appeared on television since Elimination Chamber: Toronto, when he orchestrated John Cena's heel turn. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, The Rock revealed that the filming of the Moana live-action movie has been finished. He has also wrapped up the promotion of The Smashing Machine following a disappointing box office performance. "Playing Maui has been the gift of a lifetime. Growing up as a Samoan, half Samoan and half black, in Samoan culture, Polynesian culture? We're proud people. Proud of our culture. And what 'Moana' has represented is a really awesome global embrace of Polynesian culture, our values and our qualities and our pride and our mana. Today's Tuesday. Just this past Friday, around 8:00 pm, we officially wrapped the live-action version of 'Moana,' so we can't wait," Rocky said. With Moana live action in the books and The Smashing Machine tour being over, it will be interesting to see if The Rock gets involved with WWE for the Road to WrestleMania for the third straight year. His next film under director Martin Scorsese is expected to film sometime in 2026. It will likely be in the second or third quarter of next year because Scorsese is slated to begin shooting What Happens at Night with Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio in January or February 2026, as reported by IndieWire. The Rock vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 42?In addition to The Rock's schedule possibly being free during the Road to WrestleMania 42, Cody Rhodes teased that The Final Boss character is just scratching the surface and its story is far from over.With Roman Reigns not having a clear program for next year's Grandest Stage of Them All, maybe WWE could finally book Reigns vs. Rocky. It was initially planned for WrestleMania 39 before it was scrapped. There were also plans for it during the Road to WrestleMania 40 before fans expressed their displeasure and wanted to see Rhodes finish his story. Seth Rollins is out with a shoulder injury and Jey Uso hasn't reached The Tribal Chief's level yet. What if the company plans to put one of the biggest dream matches in WWE history? The Road to WrestleMania 42 begins on January 31, 2026, at the Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
