The Rock shares whereabouts update ahead of WrestleMania 42
The Rock provides an update on his whereabouts for WWE WrestleMania week.
The Rock attended CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week. Catherine Lagaʻaia, who plays Moana in the live action remake, and The Rock, starring as Maui, promoted the film set for release on July 10, 2026.
The Rock announced that he was flying back home after the event on Thursday for his youngest daughter, Tia’s eighth birthday.
“Being a proud girl dad, three times. I have a daughter in her 20s, I have ten, I have eight…I have seven. My youngest is going to turn eight tomorrow. Happy birthday Tia, I know you’re going to see this. I love you. I’m coming home tonight.”
The Rock competed at WrestleMania 40 teaming up with Roman Reigns against Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes. Last year, he played a crucial part in John Cena’s heel turn at Elimination Chamber. Since then, he has not made any televised WWE appearances or participation.
With WrestleMania 42 this weekend there was much anticipation on his presence at the event. Especially given how Reigns and CM Punk’s feud got personal with remarks about the Anoa’i family. Additionally, Punk also mocked Rock’s Hollywood career on the April 6 edition of Raw.
WWE’s unpredictable build to the event could lead to The Rock possibly showing up; however, there is no confirmation or reports to support the speculation. There have been instances of the company bringing in talents at the last-minute to create surprising and history making moments at events.
