Since Dwayne Johnson returned to professional wrestling in January, he has been all over the place to advertise his massive match at WrestleMania XL, however when ‘The People’s Champion’ turned up extremely late to a fan look on Thursday, April 4, The Rock determined to skip an apology, as a substitute taunting the gang along with his cause for being tardy.
Johnson, one in all Hollywood’s greatest field workplace attracts, and one of the vital profitable WWE superstars of all time, was scheduled to look on the WWE World fan expo on the Pennsylvania Convention Center at 4pm, however the 1000’s of followers gathered across the stage to see “The Great One” started to boo as 4pm quickly grew to become 5pm. In truth, it was round 5.45pm earlier than the Moana star appeared, so after ready for an hour and forty-five minutes, none of those that’d waited within the crowd stated; “You’re welcome.” Rather than apologize nevertheless, The Rock leaned on his present on-screen ‘bad guy’ persona and poked enjoyable of his viewers as a substitute.
“Are you booing because The Rock was supposed to be here at 4-0’clock, is that why you are booing?” requested Johnson. “You’re booing because The Rock was a little late, is that why you are booing?” he requested once more as the gang shouted again within the affirmative. “… He was watching YouTube, watching Jalen Hurts lose in the playoffs again!” mocked the film star. Jalen Hurts, after all, performs for the house crew, The Philadelphia Eagles, and sadly DJ couldn’t resist slinging a jibe at his unfavorable crowd after the Eagle’s lower than stellar 2023 season.
The wait was stunning, however The Rock can nonetheless electrify an viewers
In reality, Johnson’s lateness to his personal celebration was greater than doubtless as a result of insane promotional schedule that he’s on. The Rock has appeared all over the place from the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and even squatted Drew Barrymore on The Drew Barrymore Show all in the previous couple of weeks, within the run as much as what guarantees to be the largest WrestleMania of all-time. But, whereas he tried to redeem himself by wishing one younger fan a cheerful birthday, the Q&A bit of The Rock’s WWE World look served to show the joke proper again round on him when a younger woman requested why he’d tried to interject himself into the WrestleMania XL essential occasion regardless that he hadn’t been in or received the Royal Rumble. Eager to save lots of face, Johnson referred to himself as ’The Final Boss,’ that means that he can do no matter he needs. Of course, Johnson’s bravado is basically as a result of heel character that he’s at the moment enjoying in his newest WWE run. His cocky angle and reversion Versace shirts have been a giant hit, and the 51-year-old former ten-time WWE champion has a spring in his step as he appears to be like ahead to tagging along with his cousin Roman Reigns to face Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
