Seth Rollins on The Rock: ‘He’s a really kind and generous man’
Despite any issues they’ve had on-screen, Seth Rollins is a fan of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as a person.
Rollins is hosting “Good Morning Football” on the NFL Network for three straight days this week. He also stopped by The Rich Eisen Show for an interview on Monday, recounting the story of how The Rock invited him, Becky Lynch, and their daughter Roux to the premiere of “Moana 2” in Hawaii last year. Rollins praised The Rock for being a kind and generous person.
“He was kind enough to invite us to Hawaii to watch the premiere of ‘Moana 2.’ So we got to see it on the lawn with the sunset in the background,” Rollins said. “[Roux is] too young to remember it, but it was really an incredible experience for our family. He’s been a great boss, I will say. In the ring, you know, we’ve had our ups and downs. People say a lot of things about him — he’s a really kind and generous man.”
The main event of WrestleMania 40 night one last year was The Rock & Roman Reigns defeating Rollins & Cody Rhodes in a tag team match. The Rock won’t be wrestling at this year’s Mania, but he played a significant part in the build with his involvement in John Cena’s heel turn at Elimination Chamber. WWE has yet to follow up on the alliance between Rock and Cena since then.
A triple threat match between Rollins, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk is official for the WrestleMania 41 card. A contract signing for the match will take place on SmackDown in London this Friday.
