Instead, the segment saw John Cena turn heel\u2014an unexpected twist that had fans buzzing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"1180\">This moment was seen as the beginning of a massive storyline that would surely culminate at WrestleMania. But as the weeks rolled on, The Rock disappeared from WWE programming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"1180\">The Final Boss faded into the background, leaving fans wondering where the angle was going\u2014and where he had gone.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Rock says he wanted to step out of the spotlight and let all the spotlight be on John Cena &amp; Cody Rhodes.<\/p>\n<p>He says he called Cena &amp; Rhodes after EC &amp; said \u201cI think the Final Boss\u2019 work is done. \u2014 We\u2019ve just pulled off the greatest angle in the history of pro wrestling\u201d\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OQBzROcXU3\">pic.twitter.com\/OQBzROcXU3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WrestlePurists (@WrestlePurists) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WrestlePurists\/status\/1914722380942844247?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1182\" data-end=\"1213\">The Rock Explains Why He Wasn&#8217;t At WrestleMania<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1366\">Speaking on <em data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1248\">The Pat McAfee Show<\/em>, The Rock finally addressed the elephant in the room.

I felt it was best to step back and let Cena and Rhodes take the spotlight,\u201d The Rock explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1584\" data-end=\"1800\">He emphasised that his decision was about <em data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1645\">not overshadowing<\/em> the story WWE was building with Cena and Rhodes. According to The Rock, he didn\u2019t want to \u201cmake it about The Final Boss\u201d at the grandest stage of them all.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I heard everything The Rock said on the Pat McAfee show.<\/p>\n<p>He still should have been there \ud83d\ude02 respectfully.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Alex McCarthy (@AlexMcCarthy88) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlexMcCarthy88\/status\/1914753712310108527?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 22, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1584\" data-end=\"1800\">The Rock Says He Would&#8217;ve Booked The Main Event Differently<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"2095\">Internally, WWE had toyed with several creative directions, including Cody turning heel or The Rock interfering in the match\u2019s conclusion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"2095\">However, Rock revealed that once Cena embraced his dark side, there was no need for another seismic shift.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"2095\">\u201cWe could\u2019ve inserted The Final Boss at the end\u2026 but then where do we go?

But he never did.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2275\" data-end=\"2466\">\u201cThe Travis Scott moment?

He hinted that WWE could return to the <em data-start=\"2774\" data-end=\"2788\">soul-selling<\/em> storyline down the line\u2014especially if Cody&#8217;s character evolves further.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2663\" data-end=\"2860\">\u201cWe\u2019ll get back to it.
