Reposted WWE Hawaii tryout graphic places The Rock alongside Reigns and The Usos

On August 26, 2026, WWE deleted and reposted a promotional graphic for an upcoming talent tryout in Hawaii that in its updated version showed The Rock alongside Roman Reigns and The Usos, prompting renewed speculation about a possible return to the company. WWE has not provided an explanation for the change to the artwork.

The original announcement’s graphic featured several WWE Superstars, including Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso, while the revised image added The Rock to the lineup with Roman Reigns and The Usos. The change prompted fan reaction, including the embedded post: "The Final Boss, The Rock back on WWE advertisement 👀INTERESTING 🤔 pic.twitter.com/PWdhxntZFV". WWE has not clarified why it altered the promotional material.

Roman Reigns and The Usos remain central to WWE’s ongoing Bloodline storyline, a narrative thread that continues to evolve on weekly television. On August 10, Jey Uso defeated Solo Sikoa before the former Bloodline member was delivered to Roman Reigns. Later, Solo Sikoa and LA Knight attacked Reigns and The Usos on RAW.

Separately, The Rock has recently signalled interest in another member of the extended Anoa’i family by publicly supporting Zilla Fatu. The Rock “threw his support behind Zilla Fatu ahead of the young star’s WWE in-ring debut at NXT Heatwave,” and he responded to a WWE post on Instagram backing Fatu. Fatu and The Rock are both members of the extended Anoa’i family, and Fatu is also related to Roman Reigns.

Zilla Fatu joined WWE in August 2026 and is scheduled to challenge Tony D’Angelo for the NXT Championship in a four-way match that also features Grayson Waller and Cruz Montana. Fatu’s rapid progression from his WWE debut to a major NXT title opportunity has generated speculation that family connections may have influenced the push.

He occasionally dives into writing as well — whether it’s crafting articles, brainstorming ideas, or finding the perfect caption. When he’s not glued to his laptop, Blesson is likely planning his next travel adventure or losing himself in music.

There is no confirmation that The Rock will appear at the Hawaii tryout or otherwise return to WWE television, and there is no confirmed return date; WrestleMania 43 is cited as one potential stage for another appearance or match, although that possibility currently appears far from certain. The immediate, confirmed item tied to the speculation remains the talent tryout scheduled around WWE’s October 16 and 17 events at Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, with applications reportedly due by September 15.
