Last year, Roman Reigns called out The Rock during a WWE live event. In fact, The Rock’s WWE return was said to be 100% in the plans. However, the likelihood of it happening now seems unlikely.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about The Rock’s WrestleMania 39 status. He revealed that WWE knew months in advance The Rock wouldn’t be ready for WrestleMania 39.
“Anything is possible, and it’s certainly possible he could be keeping everything a secret from all by one or two people, but the word is that he doesn’t have the time to get in the shape….All along, if he has the time to do it, he will do it. Put it this way, most are of the opinion that it’s not happening, and it’s been for months. Those on the inside thought the odds were not good based on that thing because (his schedule)….There’s no such thing as 100% because it’s a very secretive business. Within the company, it’s not looking good.”

Regardless, The Rock’s status for the Show of Shows seems dubious right now, and fans will have to accept that.
