Current proposals to probe the quantum nature of gravity in the low-energy regime predominantly focus on the Newtonian interaction term. In this work, we present a theoretical exploration of gravitationally mediated entanglement arising from a genuinely general relativistic effect: frame dragging. This interaction gives rise to an effective dipolar coupling between the angular momenta of two rotating, spherically symmetric masses, allowing entanglement generation between angular momentum degrees of freedom. We represent the quantum states by angular momentum eigenstates and show that, while the maximal entangling rate is achieved for highly delocalized initial states, non-negligible quantum correlations can still emerge even when the initial states are not prepared in superposition. We then analyze the robustness of the resulting entanglement in the presence of common noise sources, explicitly acknowledging the challenges associated with a potential implementation. We also note that, for spherically symmetric masses, angular momentum degrees of freedom are intrinsically insensitive to Casimir and Coulomb interactions, thereby mitigating key decoherence channels present in existing proposals. Finally, we discuss possible state preparation and detection strategies while framing our results within the broader landscape of gravitationally mediated entanglement schemes, emphasizing the role of this framework as a conceptual avenue for exploring genuinely relativistic quantum gravitational effects.
