With a year left for WWE WrestleMania 43, The Rock has opened up and teased some “good news” surrounding his participation in the PLE.

For the first-time ever, the 2027 edition of WrestleMania is set to take place in Saudi Arabia, as a part of WWE’s relationship with KSA. However, with still a year left for the show, The Rock recently appeared with Raffi Boghosian of Raffi Talks, where he addressed the speculations surrounding his presence on the PLE.

I’m excited for the brand of WrestleMania, I’m excited for the Kingdom because that is a big show. I’m also excited not only for the brand, but I’m excited for our athletes to be able to participate in an event like that, and that is a global event,” The Rock said. “And so I can’t wait. In terms of the conversations I’ve been having, it’s all good. It will always be good.

WWE-Saudi Arabian events have often in the past hosted and brought some of the promotion’s biggest stars, such as Goldberg, Kane, The Undertaker, and even Shawn Michaels.

With The Rock’s in-ring performance and involvement at WrestleMania 40, rumors and speculations began to circulate about his possible participation in WrestleMania 43 in KSA. Despite the teases, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has not yet officially confirmed or denied any of the rumors.

Saudi Arabia is also set to host the upcoming 2026 Royal Rumble PLE on January 31st, 2026.
