He was a major player in the main event feud between John Cena and Cody Rhodes in the weeks before.
However, the 52-year-old was missing from the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
He was nowhere be seen as Cena defeated his rival to win a historic 17th WWE world title.
Fans in the arena and viewers at home were left disappointed with the People's Champion not there.
The Rock had appeared at the Elimination Chamber last month.
He was the catalyst for Cena turning heel for the first time in 22 years.
At the time, he was joined by Travis Scott.
The rapper also appeared and intervened in the main event at Mania on Sunday.
But The Rock was absent, leaving fans upset around the world.
They took to social media to vent their frustration.

"No Rock? hey Dwayne, you're in or you're out. And when you're out," one raged.
"Stay away unless you're committing."
Another added: "Anyone else find that very anticlimactic? Like what???
"Why did Travis Scott have a 5 minute entrance in the middle of the match and WHERE IS THE ROCK????

"Happy for Cena, but WHAT????"
A third said: "'Did they even need The Rock for this heel turn?
"Not a single appearance? Not a single explanation? Come on."
During the main event, Scott took a Cross Rhodes finisher from Cody.
That allowed Cena to get the upper hand and win the title.
He now has the most world championships in the history of the company.
The Rock's latest social media post is of him driving in Hawaii, but it is not known when the image was taken.
It is also not known whether his WrestleMania 41 absence was planned or he pulled out.
Cena is advertised for Monday Night Raw, where he could still show up.

During their relationship, Adam was charged with assaulting her and received 120 hours of community service. Natalie later reconciled with him for a brief time as she tried to make it work for the sake of their child Eliza, who they welcomed back in 2010. Speaking on the latest episode of her podcast Life With Nat, the actress was joined by her aunt Linny, where she admitted her relationship with her ex "wasn't a happy one". Discussing her parenting, mum-of-two Natalie said: "We don't raise them the same, of course we don't..." She told her aunt: 'It's a cementing of your marriage, or your life... it's everything… but I didn't have that experience. "I was in a relationship, it wasn't a happy one. "Eliza was my absolute life, but the experience that came with it wasn't a nice one. "So again everyone has a very different experience."

She said: "It was my decision. I'm really glad I gave it another chance. When kids are involved you almost have to. I can always say to Eliza, 'Mummy tried, but it didn't work out.'" Natalie went on to star in her own reality show with Adam. Becoming Mum hit our screens in 2010 and followed the pair prepare for their first child. The pair started dating in 2009 and were in an on/off relationship until 2013. A year later Natalie started a relationship with Marc Humphreys. They got engaged in 2015 and welcomed their first child Joanie Elizabeth into the world in 2016. Just two months ago, Natalie waved goodbye to Walford as she quit the soap after three decades. Before leaving, Sonia left flowers for her ex-husband Martin (James Bye), who died after a metal beam collapsed on him following a fire at the Queen Vic pub during the soap's 40th anniversary live episode. Sonia was then persuaded to jump into the boat on the back of the trailer to depart Albert Square with Bianca. She was then asked by the neighbours if she would be going to Bali. Sonia replied: "Well yeah, that's where we're going to start off, Bex is going to find us some visas and everything, and then we're just going to wing it." Bianca then handed Sonia her trumpet as she exclaimed: "I've got an idea, look, for old times' sake as we drive off, come on, it'll be a laugh. You can put it in the bin when we get to Stansted." The character was known for her poor trumpet playing, which angered her family and neighbours, during her early days on the soap. Sonia played the instrument as they finally left Walford, driven away by her daughter Bex, as the residents of Albert Square waved them off as Julia's Theme played out.

David Beckham to finally be awarded knighthood after string of near misses & disappointments over more than a decade
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DAVID Beckham is to finally be awarded a knighthood, The Sun can reveal. The footie legend, 50, will become a 'Sir' in the King's Birthday Honours list next week. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 David Beckham is to finally be awarded a knighthood - with wife Victoria set to be known as Lady Beckham Credit: Getty 8 The ex-England and Man United star has longed for a knighthood for years Credit: PA 8 David has struck up a firm friendship with King Charles Credit: PA His Spice Girl wife Victoria will be known as Lady Beckham. Ex-England and Man United star Becks has longed for a knighthood for years. The news will also bring some joy to the Beckham household amid a rift with their eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz. Politicians and fellow sports stars have spent years calling for the man known as 'Golden Balls' to receive a knighthood. The father of four — who played 115 times for England and has made major contributions to charity— has struck up a firm friendship with King Charles. And the monarch dropped a potential hint last month that his wait was coming to an end. Countryside-loving Becks, who is an ambassador of The King's Foundation, was seen greeting Charles and Queen Camilla at the Chelsea Flower Show. Coveted honour He shares a passion for horticulture with Charles and sported the King's rose in his lapel. Charles asked him: 'You got it, didn't you?' Becks replied: 'It was incredible, thank you. It was very kind.' David Beckham meets with King Charles at Chelsea Flower Show Letters inviting recipients to accept honours are sent out weeks in advance - and one may have already landed on David's mat at the time of their chat. He was first put forward for a knighthood in 2011 after helping to secure the London 2012 Olympics. But he was blocked from getting the title by the Honours Committee after becoming caught up in a tax avoidance scheme, along with many other stars. Becks retired from playing in 2013, and his finances were cleared by the taxman at least four years ago - paving the way for him to finally get the coveted honour. Many thought it would finally come in 2022, after he spent 13 hours queuing with the public to pay his respects at Queen Elizabeth's coffin, which lay in state in Westminster. But he was again left waiting for the honour. 8 The Beckham household will be glad of the good news amid a rift with their eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz Credit: Getty 8 The Beckhams from left to right: Romeo, Rome's former girlfriend Kim Turnbull, Harper, Victoria, David, Cruz and Cruz's girlfriend Jackie Apostel Credit: Tim Stewart The Sun understands he narrowly missed out on a knighthood in the New Year Honours List published in December last year. Former England football manager Gareth Southgate got the award. David had been given an OBE in 2003 for services to football. He received it from Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, watched by proud Victoria, sons Brooklyn and Romeo, and his grandparents. David and his wife — who shot to fame with the Spice Girls before becoming a successful fashion designer — have an estimated combined net worth of £500million. David also has a long history of charitable work, which will have been considered by officials on the Honours Committee. It was inspiring to hear from The King about the work of His Majesty's Foundation David Beckham Last year, he was formally made a charity ambassador by the King, and beekeeper Becks was buzzing with excitement at teaming up with him. Charles invited Beckham to Highgrove to learn more about the charity, which focuses on 'creating better communities where people, places and the planet can coexist in harmony'. Tours of the grounds help to fund workshops and courses in traditional skills and crafts, and the former footie star met woodworking and embroidery students. Becks said at the time: 'I'm excited to be working with The King's Foundation and to have the opportunity to help raise awareness of the charity's work. 8 Former footie ace David played 115 times for England Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd 8 David and wife Victoria have an estimated combined net worth of £500million Credit: Instagram "I've always been keen to help young people to expand their horizons and I'm particularly looking forward to supporting the Foundation's education programmes and its efforts to ensure young people have greater access to nature. 'Having developed a love for the countryside I'm also on a personal mission to learn more about rural skills which is so central to the Foundation's work. 'It was inspiring to hear from The King about the work of His Majesty's Foundation during my recent visit to Highgrove Gardens — and compare beekeeping tips.' In 2020, he teamed up with the Chelsea Pensioners as he backed The Sun's campaign to save the Poppy Appeal amid the devastating Covid lockdown. He said he was 'in awe' of the veterans as he delivered poppies to their London HQ. David added: 'With another lockdown coming it is more important than ever that we support our veterans.' 8 David teamed up with the Chelsea Pensioners as he backed The Sun's campaign to save the Poppy Appeal Credit: The Sun Becks, also dad to son Cruz and daughter Harper, has carried out lots of charity work focusing on children, and was appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador 20 years ago. To mark his 50th birthday last month he appealed for donations for the charity. He was also a founding member of the leadership council of charity Malaria No More in 2009, helping to eradicate the disease, even visiting No 10 to highlight the issue. In 2023, he delighted the Brentford Penguins - a football team for children with Down's Syndrome — with a visit to celebrate them winning one of The Sun's Who Cares Wins awards. He took footballing son Romeo with him to lead a surprise training session. David celebrated his 50th last month with a string of parties, though Brooklyn stayed away. The honours will be formally announced later this month. The government does not comment on them beforehand.
