Triple H thinks The Rock will be a game-changer when Raw debuts on Netflix.
The Rock is set to appear on the debut of Raw on Netflix tonight. It will be the first time he’s been seen in WWE since Bad Blood last year and could kick off his own road to WrestleMania 41.
Triple H was asked in an interview with Sports Illustrated about The Rock’s future in WWE. However, this interview was done before The Rock was confirmed to be appearing on Raw.
He stated that The Rock is a “game-changer” who always does right by the WWE. Additionally, Triple H said The Rock does love the business and that his constant mention of having goosebumps is a legitimate thing.
Triple H On The Rock In WWE
“The one thing about The Rock—and you can call him the final boss or whatever term you prefer—is that, in a way, it’s an accurate statement. He is, without question, the biggest box office star in the world.”
“He’s earned the right to be in a position where he can do what he wants to do. But let me preface that by saying: he always does what’s right for WWE. He always does what’s right for the projects he’s involved in, and he sees WWE as part of that, too.”
“His passion, his DNA, his lineage, his heritage, his family—it’s all deeply intertwined with this business. He loves it. We joke about it all the time, but every time he comes in, no matter what, he’ll walk by me with goosebumps on his arms. That thing he does when he comes out? That electricity? It’s legit.”
“He’s so passionate about this, and rightfully so. There’s no electricity, no feeling, quite like stepping out in front of 20,000 people in a packed arena that’s going wild. There’s nothing like it in the world.”
“He’s earned the right to come and go as he pleases, and we trust that he’ll always do what’s right for WWE in the end. He’s incredibly collaborative with me and Nick about what we want to do—contrary to what a lot of people might think.”
“Time will tell how things unfold, and I don’t want to give anything away. But I do believe that when those huge, game-changing moments arise, he’s the one you can count on to deliver. That’s who he is. He’s a game-changer.”
