Last year, Cody Rhodes created history when he defeated Roman Reigns and ended his 1300+ days World title run. It had been one of the most overbooked matches in WWE history as wrestlers like The Bloodline, The Rock, John Cena, Seth Rollins, and even Undertaker got involved in this match.
The final scenario was between The Rock and The Undertaker as the Dead Man helped Cody Rhodes to master The Rock. The fans were extremely happy after getting to see such an iconic showcase. However, there had been some resentment among some fans that it should have been Stone Cold Steve Austin instead of The Undertaker so that the fans could witness Austin and Rock facing each other for one last time.

Later, it was reported that WWE actually approached Austin for this iconic showdown but they could not agree on the payment. Fans criticized both WWE and Austin after this report came out as both sides turned down such a historic showdown for money.
The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin were the biggest rivals of their time
But finally, it looks like this scenario is now possible at WrestleMania 41 when Cody Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE title against The Rock’s candidate John Cena and once again, The Rock expected to be a part of it. So, The Rock vs. Steve Austin scenario is possible once again, and that is also at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
Stone Cold Steve Austin fought his last match at WrestleMania 38
Austin spoke about possibly sharing a helping hand for Cody whenever he needed him. In August 2024, Austin told Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez that “If he [Cody] needs another hand, I’ll be there.” It is very much possible that The Rock and Austin may come face to face at WrestleMania 41 for one last time.
As the current situation stands, the main event of WrestleMania 41 between Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship can also be a huge overbooked event. Triple H is valuing the main event of WrestleMania quite highly every year. This year, he won’t disappoint either. We may finally get to see Austin and Rock going head to head for the last time.
