The excitement for the fast-approaching WrestleMania 39 has never been higher. Many were hoping against hope to see Dwayne Johnson appear at the marquee event. However, a recent social media post by him has perplexed fans about his next destination.

Johnson, who competed in the ring last time in 2016, was linked with an appearance at ‘The Showcase of Immortals’ this year. But an appearance by him at the SoFi stadium could not materialize. However, The People’s Champ has kept the fans guessing regarding a potential Mania appearance.

Johnson took to Instagram to share an image with his followers. In it, Johnson can be seen sitting in an aircraft and, curiously, the monitor shows him flying away from Los Angeles. With the ‘Grandest Stage Of Them All’ being set in Hollywood this year, this serves as a dampener to wrestling fans who were expecting an appearance by the 10-time WWE champion.

Eagle-eyed fans were quick to zoom in on the image and figure out that Johnson was heading away from ‘The City of Angels’. They took to social media in huge numbers to let their opinions known on the matter.

Who is the real “Tribal Chief”?

Counting on an appearance from ‘The Brahma Bull’.

A unique thought.

Intriguing thinking.

As highlighted by many users, this could all be a work to trick them into believing that The Great One wouldn’t be in Los Angeles this weekend. If so, this could be a swerve of herculean proportions. After all, this won’t be the first time that a WWE superstar has pulled it off.

WWE has pulled off such a swerve previously as well

The Baddest Women On The Planet Ronda Rousey also tried to convince the WWE Universe of her non-appearance in the 2018 Royal Rumble event.

The former UFC star shared images from the sets of the Mile 22 movie to mislead the fans. She led the fandom to believe that she was busy with the shoot of a movie and won’t appear in the yearly event.

After a week of playing hide-and-seek, she finally walked out to raucous reception from the crowd during the eventual event. ‘The Queen’ Charlotte Flair, who was present in the ring at the time later gave her opinion about the debut.
