The Rock is set to be in Las Vegas on Thursday for the WrestleMania kickoff show, and fans can't wait to see what goes down. As #WeWantCody intensifies, it is evident that The Rock's return to WWE wasn't a last-minute decision.

Cody Rhodes has not officially lost his WrestleMania slot to The Rock yet, but that is expected. As we previously reported, The Rock is 100% wrestling Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40.

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that WWE actually booked the T-Mobile Arena far in advance. This event wasn't a late addition to anyone's schedule.

"They had booked T-Mobile for Thursday with The Rock long ago, like someone there mentioned it in passing. It was, 'it's not like you can get T-Mobile Arena four days in advance for something that we're changing.' This thing was booked way in advance. This thing was, you know when I mentioned January 3rd, to make a date and have an agreement on January 3rd, there was pretty much an understanding well before that. They kept that one quiet. However it plays out, whatever it is, it's working."

It was also noted that "it's business," and that is the idea. The Rock, although he is upsetting some fans by his mere presence on the card, is set to have this match against Roman Reigns, and that has been the plan for a while.
