It appears as though we won't be seeing The Rock in a match at WrestleMania 38 next year from Arlington, Texas.

Previous reports indicated that WWE was looking at a potential tag team match featuring The Great One, with Rock teaming with one of the Uso brothers to take on Roman Reigns and the other Uso.

As we mentioned earlier this week, Ringside News - who have had recent reports corroborated by the likes of Fightful and Dave Meltzer - is reporting that Dwayne Johnson is a "virtual lock" for WrestleMania 39.

Dave Meltzer has reported in this week's issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that The Rock is certainly not to be considered a 'lock' for the event in 2023.

"From asking around, the basic gist is this. The match will take place if, when and where Johnson wants it to. His schedule is such that there is no lock for anything. In 2023, he may be running the XFL, or movies or even running for president (I doubt it but he’s given that date before as something he’s thought about although the Young Rock story seems to have indicated he’s looking at 2032 if he really ever does it)."
