WWE WrestleMania 41: 7 Nightmares That Could Come True
2. The Rock Isn’t In Town
What Could Happen: Build towards Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena rings true and The Rock sits out everything to do with this title showdown bar what happened at Elimination Chamber in early-March. Big Dwayne Johnson reasons that he's just far too busy with everything he has going on in Hollywood, so fellow-movie star Cena is exclusively there in his stead.
Either that or WWE and Rocky decide that John's own retirement tour is enough without Rock's involvement at 'Mania.
Why It'd Be A Nightmare: One of the biggest questions surrounding Cena's heel turn back at Chamber still hasn't been broached. Like, at all. Why did he side with The Rock? We know he wanted to stick it to people who had been getting on his nerves for decades, but why Rocky? WWE has left that whopper of a question dangling in the ether like it doesn't even matter (Alexa, play that single with Wyclef Jean and Rock from aeons ago).
Hell, Cody himself has barely brought it up despite apparently going from blood-soaked enemies to great pals behind the scenes with the 'Final Boss'. This is all very unsatisfying, and that word would be on fan lips again if Rocky dipped out of WrestleMania 41 in favour of watching from a remote location like this is 2005 all over again.
Sod that, he needs to be there live in person. People are excited about the prospect of Cena either dethroning Cody or Rhodes fending him off so they can stick two fingers up at John's legacy, but The Rock is far too big a part of the story to go radio silent at a time like this.
Surely he'll be in the house?!
