The Rock has been having "good" conversations about WrestleMania 43, teasing he will be involved at the 2027 edition of WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia in some capacity.

After being asked on Raffi Talks about speculation around his potential involvement at WrestleMania 43, Dwayne Johnson said:

"I'm excited for the brand of WrestleMania. I'm excited for the Kingdom because that is a big show. I'm also excited not only for the brand, but I'm excited for our athletes to be able to participate in an event like that, and that is a global event. And so I can't wait. In terms of the conversations I've been having, it's all good. It will always be good."

The Rock has been rumoured for WrestleMania 43 since even before the show being held in Saudi Arabia was announced in September of 2025, with reports noting talks have taken place about the eight-time WWE Champion wrestling in the Middle East.

WWE are reportedly set to pocket over $100 million from the Saudi Arabia General Entertainment Authority for WrestleMania 43.

The Rock has not appeared on WWE programming since he helped bring about John Cena's heel turn at Elimination Chamber 2025. Dwayne Johnson remains connected to the company as a member of the TKO Board of Directors, a deal which has reportedly seen him earn around $80 million in TKO shares since he joined the board in January 2024.
