This rock was not part of WWE WrestleMania 41, despite expecting the final boss to be in Las Vegas for the two-night event. Now, more has been revealed not only in his absence, but in his silence about WWE’s immortal showcase, there’s more to be revealed about his behind-the-scenes reaction.
Rock wasn’t just missing from Wrestle Mania, but he spoke little about the event before the first night of the show. One source in the WWE that spoke to Fightful Select It was all confused.
“It was just weird. We all felt that he didn’t say a word about the show.”
The general feeling is not anger, but confusion over Rock’s approach this year. One wrestler suggested that it could be “overcorrected” depending on how things were handled the previous year. WrestleMania 40 saw criticism of Locke trying to take the opportunity for a world title from Cody Rhodes, but the wrestler emphasized that the context this time was completely different.
Despite online speculation about potential behind the scenes tensions between Rock and Triple H, multiple talents have shown that if the problem exists, they have not heard about it. There have been rumors about a tense relationship between the two, but the former on-screen rival has not shown an outward display of hostility other than Kayfabe.
Iwa recently fought back against criticism from Dave Lagureka, revealing that “business is a complete job.” This comment also leaves people within WWE confused.
“Does he say it’s all a work? Every time he talks with us behind the scenes, does he have a personality too? Was McAfee’s interview with him was a work even if he said he wasn’t?”
The latest appearance of WWE’s rock appeared in Toronto, an elimination chamber. Sources within WWE Claiemd are sources that Lock was contacted for the show to help promote ticket sales, commenting that WWE’s talent “is at Dwayne’s mercy.”
Questions remain about the rock’s on-screen future with WWE and the nature of its relationship with new, uncontroversial WWE champion John Cena. The rock was never officially confirmed for WrestleMania 41, but many feel that the show was more moving if the final boss appeared.
