The Rock Calls WrestleMania 40 'Chapter 1' of His Story As WWE's Final Boss

The Rock is ready to do much more as the 'Final Boss' of WWE following the historic WrestleMania 40 Premium Live Event.

WrestleMania 40: Sunday went off the air with Cody Rhodes standing tall as Undisputed WWE Champion, despite the efforts of The Rock and The Bloodline. On the post-WrestleMania Raw, The Rock made clear that he'll be back one day and that he's coming for the American Nightmare.

The Rock is expected back on WWE programming, and his return could happen before 2024 is up, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports. It's said that there is a chance of The Rock doing a match later this year, with fans speculating that a Saudi Arabia show could be in his future.

Whether The Rock wrestles again in 2024 or not, his focus remains on Cody Rhodes. The report adds that a match with Rhodes has been tentatively penciled in for WrestleMania, though whether Cody is the champion or not by then will play a factor in booking decisions.

Whatever comes next, The Rock's metamorphosis into the Final Boss has been a hit with fans and is seemingly here to stay. Taking to Instagram, The Rock deemed WrestleMania 40 merely the first chapter of what's to come with this character.

With The Rock part of the TKO board of directors, his connection to WWE is arguably the strongest it's been in decades. There are still some questions remaining, including where the long-rumored showdown with Roman Reigns will take place. The Tribal Chief is also off of WWE programming for the time being, but for The Rock, his return isn't an if, but when.

Well, I guess Rhodes is next lol not sure how that storyline would work but I still wonder if he will take on Reigns one day.

I saw a great idea, maybe they could do a Bloodline match at Survivor Series with another member of the family joining WWE soon, just can't remember his name right now.
