However, there will be a number of other celebrities in town for the event, and Johnson might be the most notable of them all. According to sources, the event, which is only five months away, might likely feature The Rock. The West Australian reports that the veteran might compete at the gathering to start preparing for a potential match against his actual cousin and WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
The next year's WrestleMania will be the first of its kind under the new ownership. The idea is reportedly that the company are keen to make the event a spectacular one because of that reason, with Reigns versus The Rock as a serious possibility as the main event of the two-day event.
Johnson made a return to WWE programming a little over a week ago, appearing on SmackDown as he confronted Austin Theory and engaged with several other stars backstage. Prior to his showing he had teased a potential match with Reigns at next year's 'Mania, stating on The Pat McAfee Show that the match was supposed to have happened earlier in 2023.

Roman Reigns vs. The Rock: Who will win?
It will be the battle between the icons, yesterday's geat vs today's alpha. It will be difficult to pick who will come out as the winner in this great one, however, traditionally whenever a match of such kind has taken place, more often than not it is the current superstar who has prevailed. With The Rock though, WWE has made an exception in the past. When the Rock came back in 2012, he secured victory over John Cena in a match touted as Once in a Lifetime and then picked up a victory over CM Punk in the following year to claim the WWE Championship. Thus, nothing concrete can be gauged regarding this colossal encounter.
