Johnson had been a big part of WWE TV in the buildup to WrestleMania 40. He teamed with Roman Reigns to defeat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins on night one of "The Grandest Stage of Them All." On the April 8th episode of Monday Night Raw, The Rock revealed that he has to step away from WWE programming to begin filming for The Smashing Machine.

Many expect The Rock to return at some point before WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. Many have speculated whether or not it'll be The Rock vs. Cody Rhodes or Roman Reigns in "Sin City," but with Johnson's busy schedule it's anyone's guess when he'll make his return.
