The Short Answer

The Rock has worked a limited wrestling schedule for many years, but limited activity is not the same as a formal retirement. WWE's official profile still documents his 2024 in-ring return and does not list a retirement date.

His Most Recent Official Match

At WrestleMania XL in April 2024, The Rock teamed with Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. The Rock and Reigns won the tag team main event.

Why Fans Ask About Retirement

The Rock's film, television, and business schedule keeps him away from weekly wrestling. Long gaps between matches have led to repeated retirement questions throughout his career.

One historical example came after WrestleMania XX in 2004. WWE described that bout as his last match for nearly eight years, not a permanent retirement. He returned to wrestle again in 2011.

How We Will Update This Page

A formal retirement date should come from The Rock, WWE, or an authorized representative. Until that happens, the accurate description is a part-time or inactive in-ring schedule.
