The Rock Addresses WrestleMania 43 Role – With WrestleMania 43 scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia in 2027, The Rock has commented on growing speculation surrounding his possible involvement in the historic event. Speaking with Raffi Boghosian of Raffi Talks, The Final Boss addressed the situation directly and indicated that discussions about his participation have been positive.

“I’m excited for the brand of WrestleMania, I’m excited for the Kingdom because that is a big show,” The Rock said. “I’m also excited not only for the brand, but I’m excited for our athletes to be able to participate in an event like that, and that is a global event. And so I can’t wait. In terms of the conversations I’ve been having, it’s all good. It will always be good.”

WrestleMania 43 will be the first time WWE’s flagship event is held in Saudi Arabia, marking a major milestone in the company’s long-term partnership with the Kingdom. Over the years, WWE’s Saudi Arabia events have featured several high-profile legends, including The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Goldberg, and Kane. Those appearances helped establish the region as a regular host for major Premium Live Events, leading to the eventual decision to bring WrestleMania to the country.

Speculation about The Rock’s involvement began to intensify following his in-ring return at WrestleMania 40. His appearance reignited interest in future matches and special attractions, especially as WWE continues to expand its global reach. While no official announcement has been made regarding his role at WrestleMania 43, his recent comments suggest that the possibility remains under active discussion.

The Rock stopped short of confirming any specific plans, but his remarks were notably optimistic. By describing the conversations as positive and ongoing, he left the door open for some form of participation, whether in a wrestling capacity or another high-profile role tied to the event.

Before WrestleMania 43 arrives, WWE will return to Saudi Arabia for another major show. The 2026 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event is scheduled to take place on January 31 in Riyadh. That event is expected to further solidify Saudi Arabia’s position as a key location for WWE’s biggest shows and could offer additional clues about long-term creative and talent plans involving The Final Boss.
