The Rock leaves the door open for WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia

With still a year ahead for WrestleMania 43, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has once again positioned himself at the center of the conversation. The event, which for the first time in its history will be held in Saudi Arabia as part of the alliance between WWE and the Kingdom, is already generating huge anticipation even before its official promotion begins.

In a recent interview given to Raffi Boghosian on Raffi Talks, The Rock directly addressed the speculations about his possible involvement in the show. Without explicitly confirming anything, his words hinted at a much more optimistic scenario than many expected.

I'm excited about the WrestleMania brand and about the Kingdom, because it's a huge and global event. The conversations I've had have been good, and they will always be good.

The former world champion also emphasized the importance of the event from the wrestlers' point of view, highlighting the value of participating in a show with international projection. For The Rock, WrestleMania 43 not only represents a historic appointment for the company, but a unique opportunity for WWE talent to perform on a truly global stage.

Johnson's words have reignited rumors, especially after his direct involvement in WrestleMania 40, both inside and outside the ring. Since then, his name has been recurrently linked to future editions of the biggest event of the year, and Saudi Arabia now appears as a particularly symbolic destination.

It wouldn't be the first time that a big name returns for an event of this magnitude on Saudi soil. In the past, WWE's major events in the country have featured legends like Goldberg, Kane, The Undertaker, or Shawn Michaels, solidifying these shows as true media attractions.

For now, The Rock has neither confirmed nor denied his participation in WrestleMania 43, but the tone of his statements is optimistic. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia will continue strengthening its bond with WWE, with the Royal Rumble 2026 scheduled for January 31, another step in its commitment to hosting the company's biggest events.
