Summary

The Rock said he was leaving Las Vegas on Thursday night so he could be home for his daughter Tia's birthday.

Johnson was in Las Vegas for CinemaCon, where he appeared as part of Disney's presentation for the live-action *Moana* film. While discussing the importance of strong female leads, he also gave a personal update about heading home.

Quote from The Rock

"Being a proud girl dad, three times. I have a daughter in her 20s, I have ten, I have eight...I have seven. My youngest is going to turn eight tomorrow. Happy birthday Tia, I know you're going to see this. I love you. I'm coming home tonight,"

Tia turns eight on April 17.

What it means for WrestleMania 42

WrestleMania 42 takes place in Las Vegas on April 18 and April 19, but Rock's own comment suggested family plans were taking him out of the city before the weekend began. That does not rule out anything beyond what he said publicly, but it does make clear that his Thursday night priority was being home for his daughter rather than staying in Las Vegas for WrestleMania-related appearances.

The timing also stands out because Rock was involved in the build to WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas and ultimately did not appear at the event itself. This latest update did little to change that uncertainty heading into another WrestleMania weekend.
