The Rock Spotted in Europe Ahead of WWE Clash in Paris—Shocking Cena Twist Incoming?
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has just set the internet on fire after revealing he’s in Europe—just hours before WWE Clash in Paris kicks off tomorrow night (August 31, 2025).
The Hollywood megastar posted on Instagram from a gondola in Venice, Italy, soaking up the stunning views on his first-ever visit to the city. The Rock admitted the beauty of Venice gave him “chills” and left him struggling to keep his emotions in check.
But the big question fans can’t stop asking is, is The Rock only one short trip away from a jaw-dropping WWE return in Paris?
Clash in Paris Already Delivering Surprises
French fans have already had their first taste of history this week when Sami Zayn captured the U.S. Championship on SmackDown. But if The Rock makes the short hop from Venice to Paris, this event could go from huge… to legendary.
Tomorrow’s card features John Cena vs. Logan Paul in one of Cena’s last big matches on his Retirement Tour. But there’s unfinished business between Cena and The Rock. Remember earlier this year when The Rock convinced Cena to shock the world by turning heel at Elimination Chamber—only for Cena to backtrack and hand the Undisputed WWE Title back to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam?
That betrayal may still be eating away at “The Final Boss.”
Cena’s Retirement Tour Heating Up
Cena’s farewell run has just six dates left (with a couple more likely to be added). Here’s what’s coming:
- Sept 5: WWE SmackDown
- Sept 15: WWE Raw
- Sept 20: Wrestlepalooza vs. Brock Lesnar
- Oct 11: WWE Crown Jewel in Perth
- Nov 29: Survivor Series
- Dec 13: Cena’s final match—his official retirement
But what if WWE isn’t done with the greatest rivalry of the modern era—Cena vs. The Rock?
Could Paris Be the Start of One Last Showdown?
The Rock and Cena tore the house down in 2012 and briefly joined forces in 2025, only for Cena to turn his back on The Rock’s grand plan. That story feels far from finished.
With The Rock already in Europe, just hours away from Paris, the stage couldn’t be set any better. If WWE wants to reignite one of the biggest feuds in history, Clash in Paris could be the night it all explodes.
Stay tuned—because tomorrow, The Rock may just lay the smackdown on Cena’s Retirement Tour.
