WWE makes ‘dangerous’ announcement as one of its biggest stars confirms return
'Everything could change in an instant.'
The Rock is coming back to WWE just in time for the road to WrestleMania 41.
Just hours after reports he’s been cast in a new Martin Scorsese film, Dwayne Johnson has been announced for tonight’s SmackDown in New Orleans as Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque insisted ‘everything could change’.
While nothing is set in stone, the timing of the reveal could mean another massive twist for this year’s WrestleMania.
‘Strap in,’ Triple H said in a statement. ‘When The Final Boss shows up at this time of year, the audience knows absolutely anything is possible. Everything could change in an instant.’
Dwayne has hyped his own return on social media too, as he described himself as ‘unpredictable and dangerous’.
‘Bold and disruptive. Unpredictable and dangerous. The Final Boss returns, LIVE on #SmackDown,’ he wrote on Instagram.

That will be music to the ears of fans after he previously seemed to shed the Final Boss persona during the Netflix premiere of Monday Night Raw last month.
There had been speculation Dwayne could reignite his rivalry with Cody or Roman in Las Vegas in April, but he instead opened up about his own family history, and gave some shout outs to the fans, Netflix chiefs and the Undisputed WWE Champion himself.

‘Tell Mama Rhodes The Rock says hello,’ he quipped, with the American Nightmare laughing at the reference despite his mother playing a key role in their blood feud last year.
The following night on NXT, Dwayne addressed criticism over his apparent U-turn, hinting that not everything was as it seems.
