Fans around the world all expected to see The Rock involved in WWE WrestleMania 41, but unfortunately he never appeared, leaving many to criticize the way both nights ended, especially the JohnCena vs. CodyRhodes main event on Night 2. Despite this, the veteran actually watched both nights, and during an appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show," he shared his takes on the two main event storylines as well as the "RAW After Mania" episode of "Monday NightRAW."
In light of Bron Breakker's current run and aligning himself with Paul Heyman and Seth Rollins, The Rock had nothing but praise for him and noted that he's at a very crucial moment of his career now. "There's this maturation process [that] happens when you come into the world of WWE," he explained. "And if you got a little bit of heat to you in a good way; good heat and if you got a little potential to you, the company will see that, and they'll start putting you in positions where we see how, not only how you react to those positions, but more importantly, how the fans react to it."
The Rock added that Breakker has risen to the occasion during all the aforementioned opportunities, and also praised the former Intercontinental Champion's ability and look. "He comes from a hell of a bloodline the Steiner family," he added. "So, I was happy to see that last night. The first night's main event? The finish of that main event? I loved it. I loved every second of it!" The veteran added, noting how he was watching the show at home despite knowing how all the matches were going to finish.
"I loved how it all went down and I loved how it I loved that, ultimately, it came down to Seth and Paul and what that's gonna look like. And now we'll see how it all unfolds; we have the rest of the spring, we have the rest of the summer, and I loved every moment of that,"The Rock added about the WrestleMania 41 Night 1 main event.
"When I told Cody, a month and a half ago or maybe longer 'Hey, I don't want your title, I want your soul.' And then Seth followed it up, I think the following week saying 'I don't want your soul, I want that [title].' And as simple as he made it, he still made it powerful, and then here we are. So, I loved what those guys did last night."
Following BronBreakker's alignment with Rollins, it's clear that Reigns and CM Punk will likely have a shaky alliance as they take on the latest "Paul Heyman Guys."
