WrestleMania 42 Buzz

There are rumors that The Rock will announce where WrestleMania 42 will be held.

Is a big reveal coming from WWE? And could The Rock be involved?

Late Thursday, WWE shared that The Rock will appear on Smackdown Friday night, where he’s expected to announce the location for WrestleMania 42. Many believe he’ll say New Orleans will host next year’s show, but there’s speculation that more surprises could be in store.

WrestleVotes mentioned that the Smackdown agenda was being altered, with some matches getting cut to make space for Rock’s big moment. There’s also word that a press conference will follow Smackdown on WWE's platforms.

What exactly the announcement will cover is still a mystery, and no media has been lined up for the press conference yet. However, Rock hinted at showing up “to f*** up someone's life,” which has fans buzzing with excitement.

While it’s expected that Rock won’t be part of a match at WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas, just like last year, things might change quickly after the Royal Rumble.

Jey Uso is scheduled to take on Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, but Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns still need confirmed opponents on air. There are also questions about the other members of The Bloodline, with plans still up in the air.
