The Rock is back in the WWE and may be using his newfound power within the company to make another run at the WWE title.
Last week, The Rock joined the board of directors of the TKO group, which owns the WWE.
On Friday night’s Smackdown it was hinted that The Rock would be facing Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, which made fans furious due to the fact they want to see Cody Rhodes defeat Reigns for the title.

According to a report from PWInsider, The Rock is gaining political power within the company and may even have more power than Chief Creative Officer Paul Levesque/Triple H.
“This was a strategic move to give Johnson more political power overall and to show Endeavor’s faith in his involvement and that even Paul Levesque, who has done an admirable job as the Chief Creative Officer, would “lose that power struggle with Johnson at this point”, as one source surmised.”
Fightful reports that The Rock might even go as far as to use his power to become the WWE champ again.
“Those that we spoke to say they believe at one point the Rock was pushing to win at WrestleMania.”
Of course, this is the world of wrestling entertainment, and all these reports could be leaked to hype up the current WWE storyline.
