The reverberations of The Rock’s WWE comeback ahead of WrestleMania 40 echoed throughout the professional wrestling sphere. Pete Dunne, renowned as one-half of the New Catch Republic, recently engaged in a discussion regarding the significance of The Great One’s return, offering his insights on the matter.
The inclusion of The Rock in the ongoing feud between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns undeniably elevated the storyline, injecting a new level of intrigue and excitement.
His presence on Night One of WrestleMania 40, where he partnered with Reigns to face off against Cody and Seth Rollins, underscored his enduring impact. Despite his efforts, Cody emerged victorious against Reigns on the subsequent night.
According to Pete Dunne, The Rock’s reemergence has significantly bolstered WWE’s appeal and commercial success. In an interview with Bill Apter of Sportskeeda Wrestling, the 30-year-old wrestler articulated his perspective:
“It’s great yeah, I mean, you could see the business that it’s doing. It’s doing great. It’s sold out everywhere we go and people are so excited. All we gotta do is look up Twitter or X, whatever they call it now, and you can see the buzz about it. But I mean, as far as I am concerned there is a talent involved in it, the tag stuff and what not on the show. It adds a fold and it’s exciting for us to be a part of all that,” said Dunne.

While The Rock’s presence had been conspicuous in the lead-up to WrestleMania 40, his active involvement in WWE has since tapered off.
Following the grand event, The Great One made a departure from the limelight, signaling a temporary hiatus. However, his vow to return and settle scores with Cody Rhodes in the future looms as a promise of future excitement for fans.
As anticipation mounts for The Rock’s eventual resurgence, the wrestling world remains charm by the prospect of his next appearance in the squared circle.
