With WWE 2K25 set to launch on March 14, excitement is reaching a fever pitch as 2K Sports continues to new details about the highly anticipated game. While Roman Reigns is expected to be the official cover star, one of the biggest talking points is the inclusion of “The Final Boss” himself—Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Fans got their first look at The Rock’s in-game entrance, which has been meticulously recreated to reflect his dramatic WrestleMania XL entrance. The clip, shared by WWE 2K25’s official social media accounts, captures every detail, from the electrifying atmosphere to The Great One’s unmistakable swagger as he makes his way to the ring. The animation is a direct tribute to his entrance at WrestleMania XL, where he teamed with Reigns in a blockbuster tag team match against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
At WrestleMania XL, The Rock made a powerful statement by securing the victory for his team. The match ended with The Rock pinning Cody Rhodes after delivering a thunderous People’s Elbow. This victory fueled speculation about a future showdown between The Rock and Rhodes, potentially setting up a one-on-one clash down the road.
Will The Rock Wrestle at WrestleMania 41?
Despite the lingering possibility of a future match, recent reports suggest that The Rock may not be competing at WrestleMania 41. While he previously dismissed rumors that he would skip the event, his storyline with Rhodes appears to have reached a natural conclusion following his involvement in the Netflix debut of WWE Raw. However, this doesn’t mean fans won’t see The Rock at WrestleMania 41 in some capacity. Whether it’s a special appearance or an angle leading to a future showdown, The Rock’s presence at WWE’s biggest event of the year is always a major draw.

The inclusion of The Undertaker ensures that long-time WWE fans will have an opportunity to relive his most iconic moments. Whether it’s his legendary streak at WrestleMania, his battles with some of WWE’s biggest stars, or his unforgettable entrances, the “Deadman Edition” promises to be a must-have for collectors and die-hard wrestling enthusiasts.

With just weeks to go before WWE 2K25’s release, fans are eager to see what else 2K has in store. The game is expected to deliver improved gameplay mechanics, an expanded roster featuring current and legendary superstars, and new match types that enhance the general experience.
The reveal of The Rock’s entrance, alongside the confirmation of The Undertaker’s special edition, has only increased anticipation for the game. As March 14 approaches, WWE fans and gamers alike are counting down the days until they can step into the ring with their favorite superstars.
