When Black Adam star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson returned to WWE in January, most fans assumed it would be another one-off appearance from the Brahma Bull.
Those have been the norm in recent years, with it becoming apparent some time ago that he seemingly had no real plans to get back into the ring for a long-discussed match pitting him against cousin Roman Reigns. Given his continued Hollywood success, that wasn't overly surprising and, ultimately, the movie business meant he had neither the time nor inclination to wrestle again.
However, the end of January saw The Rock join the board of Tko Holdings (WWE and UFC's parent company) and regain the rights to his in-ring name. He also quickly returned to TV and took Cody Rhodes' place in his WrestleMania match against Reigns.

Peacock’s deal with WWE for events like Wrestlemania expires in 2026, and Netflix or another streamer could snatch them up.
The hype of The Rock’s return and Cody Rhodes finishing the story delivered for WWE over the weekend.

Wrestlemania saw 1.3 billion total minutes streamed across both nights on Peacock. WWE’s YouTube channel drew a record-setting 67 million+ views on Sunday, April 7. Netflix recently acquired rights to WWE’s “Raw,” and could make a play for events like Wrestlemania next.
