The Rock reflects on a significant moment in his life that came to mind during his appearance at the Daytona 500. The wrestling legend, who served as the Grand Marshal for the event, shared a heartwarming encounter with a fan on X. The fan mentioned The Rock’s traditional background and his football mentor, Jody Cwick, which sparked a trip down memory lane for The Rock. He opened up about how Cwick gave him an opportunity to play football after being arrested at 15 years old, and how that moment had a profound impact on his life.
In a video clip, The Rock expressed his gratitude towards his former coach by looking up and pointing to the sky. Despite his immense fame and success, The Rock has always remained modest and grateful for the individuals who have supported him throughout his journey. The interaction at Daytona was a special moment for him, and he cherished the chance to reminisce about his past.
Currently, The Rock has made a comeback to WWE programming and has embraced a villainous role. He has joined forces with his cousin and The Bloodline, and there are rumors circulating that he may compete in the wrestling ring for the first time in eight years at WrestleMania 40.
The Rock’s return to SmackDown a few weeks ago initially seemed to disrupt plans for a WrestleMania main event match between him and Roman Reigns. However, due to fan backlash, WWE changed direction and reverted to the original plan featuring The American Nightmare. The Rock’s decision to turn heel was influenced by the negative reactions he received from the audience. He shared his thoughts on the storyline and whether he was surprised by the developments.
During an interview on the Busted Open Radio podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray discussed The Rock’s recent run. He acknowledged that Cody’s success was a result of his hard work and dedication, which earned him the respect and love of the fans. Therefore, it was inevitable that some fans would turn on The Rock. While Bully Ray believed that a match between The Rock and Roman Reigns would attract more viewers, he also recognized that the timing may not be right. Ultimately, The Rock had no choice but to incorporate the off-screen drama into the storyline.
