The Rock to Introduce Current WWE Champion as the Next Superstar to “Sell His Soul”? Exploring the Possibility
Rumors are swirling throughout the WWE Universe as speculation grows that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson could soon step back into WWE storylines — but not just as a returning legend. According to backstage chatter, The Rock may be eyeing a new role: mentor or manipulator, possibly introducing a current WWE champion as the next major superstar to “sell his soul” for power and legacy.
This comes on the heels of The Rock’s recent character shift during his last WWE appearance, where he showed shades of his darker “Hollywood Rock” persona. Teasing fans with cryptic promos about “power, bloodlines, and sacrifice,” it appears The Rock may be stepping into a new phase — not just as a legend, but as an influential puppet master in WWE’s ever-evolving landscape.
While no official announcement has been made, names like Damian Priest, the current World Heavyweight Champion, and Carmelo Hayes, if crowned champion soon, have surfaced as potential protégés. Fans speculate that aligning with The Rock could propel any rising star to new heights — but at what cost?
The phrase “selling your soul” has deep roots in WWE storytelling — often referring to abandoning integrity in exchange for dominance and legacy. If The Rock is indeed set to pass the torch in such a dramatic fashion, it could lead to one of the most compelling power shifts in recent WWE memory.
Whether this is a storyline built on manipulation, mentorship, or both, one thing is certain: if The Rock is involved, it will be must-watch television.
Will the Great One crown the next megastar — or corrupt him?
The WWE Universe waits with bated breath
