Dwayne The Rock Johnson may be making waves on the film circuit, but dont expect to see him back in a WWE ring anytime soondespite what social media might be telling you.
On September 26, 2025, a wave of reports started circulating online claiming that The Rock would be returning to WWE for Survivor Series. That rumor? Completely fake.
Ringside News can confirm that there is currently no internal talk within WWE about The Rock being involved with this years event. In fact, its worth noting that one of the reasons The Rock didnt commit to WrestleMania 41 earlier this year was due to an already packed post-Mania schedule. His slate included intense work on The Smashing Machine and preparations for a major film project alongside Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Emily Blunta Hawaii-based crime epic described as The Departed meets Goodfellas.
Additionally, The Rock recently surfaced at the Venice Film Festival sporting a jaw-dropping 60-pound weight loss. While some fans speculated a wrestling return was imminent, its actually tied to his demanding Hollywood roles, not a surprise return to WWE.
For now, The Rocks focus is on movies, not wrestling. So if youre dreaming of The Final Boss showing up at Survivor Series, its time to wake up.
