JBL Thinks There Is A Chance The Rock Wrestles At WrestleMania 41

The Rock returned to WWE TV on Friday's WWE SmackDown, asking Cody Rhodes to be "his champion" in exchange for his soul.

The Rock said in the post-show press conference that he wasn't necessarily setting up a match with Cody.

Speaking on Something To Wrestling, JBL was asked if he thinks The Rock will wrestle at WrestleMania 41.

“I think there’s a chance, yeah, because I think The Rock loves wrestling. I think, deep down, The Rock really enjoys wrestling, and he’s always loved the business, grew up in the business, it’s always been a part of his blood. He’s really good at it, by the way. I’d love to see him wrestle. I don’t know if he will or not. You never know what’s a swerve and what isn’t. When he said Cody and he don’t have to culminate in a match, I thought it was a great thing that he said. Now, whether that is true or not is different, whether he’s working or whatever else. Good grief, I hope he’s working us because I enjoy being worked, I enjoy swerves coming, and I enjoy having the fun of being surprised. I’d love to see Rock in a match. I’d love to see Rock versus Roman [Reigns]. I think that’s one of the most interesting things that’s out there," he said.

The Rock is set to appear at WWE Elimination Chamber on Saturday.
