The Rock Set for 2/21 WWE SmackDown Appearance – WWE and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson have confirmed that The Rock will make his highly anticipated return to SmackDown on February 21, 2025, live from the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. This marks a significant return for the WWE legend, who has been largely absent from WWE programming since his appearances on WWE RAW and WWE NXT in early January 2025.
The Rock took to social media to tease his return, describing himself as “bold and disruptive. Unpredictable and dangerous.” These words are in line with The Rock’s larger-than-life persona and are sure to raise expectations for his appearance on SmackDown. WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque also commented on the return, stating, “When The Final Boss shows up at this time of year, the audience knows absolutely anything is possible. Everything could change in an instant.” The anticipation surrounding The Rock’s return has fans speculating about what role he could play in the ongoing SmackDown storyline.
This will be The Rock’s first appearance on WWE TV since his involvement in WWE RAW during its Netflix premiere on January 6, followed by a segment on WWE NXT the following day. Given the high stakes leading into WrestleMania season, his return to SmackDown is bound to have significant ramifications for the show’s direction and the overall buildup toward major events.
Fans are encouraged to tune in at 8 PM ET on USA Network to see what The Rock has in store for SmackDown. With his unpredictable nature, it’s clear that the landscape of WWE could change once again.
