WWE's intentions for WrestleMania 40 remain uncertain as they try to confirm The Rock's participation. There have been rumors suggesting that the headline match could feature Cody Rhodes versus Roman Reigns, contending for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title. However, if WWE successfully persuades The Rock to compete against his cousin, they might opt for that matchup instead. 

In the most recent issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer mentioned that The Rock has not formally committed to a wrestling deal.

He Wrote:-“According to WWE sources, Johnson has not officially signed a deal to wrestle for the company but the key word said about that is “Yet.” It is known that he is willing and said to be wanting to do a match with Roman Reigns and is strong on doing it at WrestleMania, but that is not locked in as of this week.”

WWE and Netflix recently announced a significant partnership, and it was revealed that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has joined the Board of Directors at TKO Group Holdings. The famous actor has also gained complete ownership of his trademarked name, "The Rock," and has entered into a new agreement with the company for services and merchandising.
