Posted By James Walsh on 01/21/26


In September of 2025, it was reported that officials in Saudi Arabia were negotiating with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for an appearance at WWE WrestleMania 43. In a video published to Instagram by Raffi Boghosian of Raffi Talks, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was asked about the rumors. Here was the exchange…

Raffi: “I heard there’s a lot of negotiations happening between them [Saudi Arabia] and you. What can you tell me about that, about participating?”

The Rock: “Well, I could tell you that 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. That is a global event. I can’t wait. In terms of the conversations I’ve been having, it’s all good. It will always be good.”
