The Rock Expected to Be Offered Record-Breaking Deal for WrestleMania 43 – As noted, The Rock has publicly addressed the possibility of participating in a WrestleMania event hosted in Saudi Arabia, confirming that discussions are ongoing and positive. Speaking about his potential involvement, Dwayne Johnson made it clear that communication remains strong between all parties involved. “In terms of the conversations I’ve been having, it’s all good. It will always be good,” Johnson said, offering a measured but optimistic update.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Final Boss is viewed as a top priority by organizers in Saudi Arabia. Meltzer reported that multiple sources within the country have indicated a strong desire to have Johnson appear on the show should WrestleMania be held there. His presence is reportedly seen as essential to elevating the event on a global scale.
Meltzer further noted that securing Johnson’s involvement would not come cheaply. He stated that Johnson would be offered “the largest offer ever made for someone to do a pro wrestling show.” While no financial figures were disclosed, the description underscores how significant Saudi officials view Johnson’s star power and cultural impact.
Johnson’s most recent WWE in-ring appearance came at WrestleMania XL in Philadelphia, where he teamed with Roman Reigns to defeat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a marquee main event. That match marked a high-profile return for Johnson and reinforced his value as a major attraction whenever he steps back into a WWE ring.
Beyond his on-screen role, Johnson has also taken on a corporate position within the company. In January 2024, he was appointed to the Board of Directors for TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of WWE. That role has further solidified his influence within the organization, both creatively and behind the scenes.
WWE has maintained a long-term partnership with the Saudi General Entertainment Authority since 2018, hosting multiple premium live events in the region, including Crown Jewel and Super ShowDown. While those shows have featured major matches and championship bouts, hosting WrestleMania would represent a historic milestone, as it would be the first time WWE’s flagship event is held outside of North America.
