Wrestling veteran Rene Dupree shares his insights on WWE’s potential plans for a third showdown between wrestling icons The Rock and John Cena at WrestleMania 41.
The clash between The Final Boss and The Leader of the Cenation at WrestleMania 28 and 29 left an indelible mark on wrestling history.
Initially, The Rock emerged victorious, but Cena claimed victory in their subsequent encounter.
Their unexpected confrontation during WrestleMania XL, where Cena intervened to assist The American Nightmare against Solo Sikoa, only to face a Rock Bottom from The Great One, hinted at a deeper storyline.
Dupree, speaking on his Cafe de Rene podcast during a WrestleMania watch-along, suggested that this faceoff might be WWE’s setup for a third blockbuster encounter between the two megastars at WrestleMania 41 in Minnesota.
“They’re building it for next year. They’re setting the angle right now for next year in Minnesota. That’s what it is,”
he speculated.
Despite The Rock’s vow to thwart Cody Rhodes’ quest for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania XL, his efforts fell short.
His attempt to use a weight belt on Rhodes was foiled by a surprise appearance from WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker, who delivered a chokeslam to The Final Boss.
Ultimately, Rhodes secured victory by pinning Roman Reigns after executing multiple Cross Rhodes.
Following the match, Cena joined Rhodes, his family, and fellow superstars like Sami Zayn, Jey Uso, and Randy Orton in celebration.
As speculation mounts regarding a potential rematch between The Rock and Cena, fans eagerly await what could be another historic clash at WrestleMania 41.
