Mark Henry has expressed his thoughts about the potential involvement of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the WWE Championship Street Fight scheduled between John Cena and Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2025. The Rock’s return is highly anticipated by fans, especially since he did not make an appearance at WrestleMania earlier this year.
Signs Pointing to The Rock’s Appearance in Ongoing Rivalry
On Busted Open Radio, Henry discussed how hints about The Rock’s involvement have been present, particularly in John Cena’s recent promos. According to Henry, Cena’s frequent mentions of “we” likely refer to himself and The Rock, suggesting unfinished business between the two icons.
“This is the one where you might get The Rock. You should have got it at WrestleMania and didn’t. It’s time to make up for the mistakes, pay for the sins of the fathers. John Cena kept mentioning ‘we.’ ‘We came up with. We did that’ There’s only one we: him and the Rock. Cody even called him out.”

Cody Rhodes’ References Stoke Anticipation for a Surprise Intervention
Henry pointed out that Cody Rhodes has also alluded to The Rock in promos, notably during a recent SmackDown episode. These references have intensified speculation that The Rock might intervene during the SummerSlam Street Fight, which by nature allows for less regulation and no disqualifications.
“Cody mentioned him in that opening promo [on SmackDown], so all of this stuff is pointing toward The Rock being involved in this ordeal. And we’ll see how that works out, but being that it’s a Street Fight, that gives even more credence to the fact that everything won’t be structured and it won’t be a DQ if the Rock did show his ugly face.”

Implications for SummerSlam and Future WWE Storylines
If The Rock does join the intense showdown between John Cena and Cody Rhodes, it would mark a major moment at SummerSlam 2025, heightening the drama and unpredictability of the WWE Championship Street Fight. Such an appearance could shift the power dynamics and open new narrative possibilities within WWE’s featured rivalries.
