The Rock felt like he was home after his appearance at WrestleMania 40.
The People’s Champion was a huge part of the build-up to WrestleMania this year as he prepared to wrestle a tag match on Night 1. Before teaming with Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, The Rock took part in some all-time great segments alongside The American Nightmare.
This included whipping him with his weight belt to build to their match. The Rock then went on to pin Cody Rhodes in their match, teasing a match between the pair next year.
The Rock appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote his new movie Red One. He spoke about WrestleMania 40, calling it a “great time”.
“That’s such a great time. You know, I mean, with Cody, Seth, and Roman—it was just wild. I grew up in that world of pro wrestling, and there’s nothing like when that music hits and the crowd goes crazy.”
Jimmy Fallon asked The Rock if coming out at WrestleMania 40 felt like being home.
“Yeah, that’s a good way to put it. You can connect because, you know, I grew up in the world of pro wrestling, and I followed the careers of my grandfather and my dad. My grandfather and dad used to wrestle up here at the Garden in the ’70s. And then, here I come along, not trying to screw anything up with their legacy.
“And then, all of a sudden, you know, the business has grown into what it’s grown into. TKO now owns WWE, and I have the honor of sitting on the board of TKO. So, what a full-circle moment. It’s crazy, man.”
