WWE Sources Deny The Rock's Involvement in Randy Orton's Mystery Caller Storyline
As WrestleMania 42 approaches, WWE is intensifying its build-up towards The Show of Shows, with widespread speculation suggesting that The Rock might make a surprise appearance at the event. This speculation has been fueled by Randy Orton's ongoing mysterious phone calls, which have captivated fans since his heel turn against Cody Rhodes. In these cryptic conversations, an unknown individual has been influencing Orton's actions, leading many to believe that The Rock could be the person behind the calls.
Backstage Reports Contradict Fan Theories
However, recent backstage reports from WWE insiders have strongly denied that The Rock is involved in this mystery storyline. Despite rampant online theories and fan speculation linking the two stars, sources within the organization have clarified that The Rock is not Randy Orton's mystery caller. The mystery man is set to make an appearance on this week's episode of SmackDown, but according to these reports, it will not be The Rock.
The speculation around The Rock's return has been particularly intense ahead of WrestleMania 42, especially given his absence from WrestleMania 41. Previously, The Rock was expected to appear at WrestleMania 41 to assist John Cena in winning the title, but he skipped the event, leaving fans hopeful for a comeback this year. His last WWE appearance was at Elimination Chamber, where he faced Cody Rhodes, and John Cena turned heel with Travis Scott's help, sparking controversy.
WrestleMania 42 Details and Ongoing Storylines
WrestleMania 42 is scheduled to take place on April 18 and 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, featuring a two-night event with stars from both Raw and SmackDown brands. The current storyline centers on a major Undisputed WWE Championship match between Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, with the mystery caller expected to play a key role in the buildup. The Wrestling Observer Radio has also reported that The Rock is not the mystery man, although plans could potentially change due to fan demand.
For now, WWE has made it clear that The Rock will not be appearing at WrestleMania 42, putting a damper on the hopes of many fans. The organization continues to focus on developing the mystery caller angle without The Rock's involvement, ensuring that the storyline remains unpredictable and engaging for viewers.
