Yes, Dwayne Johnson's schedule does necessitate longer-term planning than most. The Rock is a busy fella, but WWE will need to know ASAP whether 'The Great One' has room in his diary for a match/appearance across WrestleMania XL weekend next April. They need to know yesterday, ideally.

Rocky has always felt like a final boss for Roman Reigns since this whole 'Tribal Chief' stuff began in 2020, but WWE hasn't been able to make it happen quite yet. 'Mania in Philly could be a shout, especially if Roman is going to pull double duty against Cody Rhodes for one or both of his World Titles on either night.

Johnson being available could halt or change those plans.

WWE should find out as soon as they can if The Rock will be in the house at WrestleMania. He'd bring countless eyeballs with him, and Reigns vs. Rock is the kind of box office smash hit nobody behind the scenes could resist. Terms must be thrashed out soon though.
