The Elimination Chamber event in Australia promises multiple Chamber matches to determine contenders for World Championships at WrestleMania 40. The Rock, absent from Royal Rumble, could enter the Elimination Chamber, potentially winning and securing his place in the main event, ensuring his status as a beloved babyface leading up to the flagship event in April.
#2. Interfere in the main event of WWE WrestleMania 40: If The Rock decides not to directly challenge Roman Reigns, he could play a pivotal role in the main event. With Cody Rhodes seeking redemption after a loss to Reigns at the previous WrestleMania, The Rock’s interference could even the odds, setting the stage for a future dream match between Reigns and The People’s Champion.
