Before the Royal Rumble, WWE dropped many hints about The Rock’s return, making fans go crazy online. It wasn’t just fans—wrestlers also believed The People’s Champion would show up and steal the spotlight.
Recently, Logan Paul made a bold statement about Dwayne Johnson’s huge impact in WWE. The 29-year-old said if The Rock returned, he would take all the attention. Logan even thought of calling Nick Khan, saying he would quit if that happened.
Logan Paul entered the Royal Rumble at #30 and had a strong performance, eliminating CM Punk and making it to the final three before John Cena took him out.
In his YouTube vlog, Paul admitted he was worried The Rock might return, as many rumors suggested. He even said that if Dwayne Johnson had shown up, he would have called WWE CEO Nick Khan and quit right away, skipping WrestleMania and other big events.

The Rock will not be in WrestleMania 41
WWE fans were shocked to learn that Dwayne Johnson will not be part of WrestleMania 41. Many were excited about a possible match between Rock and Cody Rhodes or even Rock vs. Roman Reigns.
Last month, rumors about this started after his appearance at Bad Blood. But The Rock denied them, calling them “bullshit.” Now, new reports say those rumors were actually true. The wrestling legend was furious because the news leaked too soon.
