The Final Boss has not appeared in WWE for months now. His last appearance came at Elimination Chamber 2025, when he staged the historic heel turn of John Cena right ahead of WrestleMania. While the Rock's appearance in WWE is awaited, the legend has remained at the top in Hollywood.
The veteran was nominated for his first Golden Globe award recently. The star has been nominated for best performance by a male actor in the motion picture drama category for his role as Mark Kerr of UFC fame in The Smashing Machine. Apart from this, the star's production company, Seven Bucks Production, is set to release a major reality series.
The Final Boss, as per recent reports from Deadline, is developing a new series for Hulu, set in Hawai'i. Further, it is also reported that the series will “focus on the culturally diverse women of Hawai’i and showcase an authentic part of the island and its people.” While the name and details are still awaited, time will tell what The Final Boss has planned for the upcoming series.
