The Rock is set to make his return to WWE television in the near future.
WWE officially announced on Friday that the former WWE Champion will be making an appearance on next week’s episode of SmackDown in Glendale, AZ.
The Rock initially wanted to face Roman Reigns in a match at WrestleMania 40, but after facing backlash from fans, Cody Rhodes will now be challenging Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title.
WWE seems to be building to a potential tag team match at the event, with Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins teaming up to face off against Reigns and The Rock.
As of now, Reigns has not been confirmed for SmackDown.
