The Rock and WWE Disagree Ahead of WrestleMania XL Training

Los Angeles, CA — Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson experienced a minor falling out with WWE while preparing for the WrestleMania 40 main event alongside Roman Reigns. This revelation came from former WWE NXT star Wolfgang, who spoke about the situation during a recent interview.

The disagreement resulted in a delay of the training schedule for the tag team match against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. WWE expected The Rock to arrive in Los Angeles via private jet, while Johnson believed WWE would send a jet to pick him up. Wolfgang noted that both sides were “big-leaguing” each other, contributing to the confusion.

“Tuesday was supposed to be day one of training, but that got scrapped due to the misunderstanding,” Wolfgang shared. “We ended up getting a free day in Los Angeles instead.” Wolfgang, along with his Gallus teammates, helped The Rock throughout his training once the preparations resumed.

When asked about the dynamic during training, Wolfgang described The Rock as humble and approachable. They engaged in light-hearted banter, including jokes about Wolfgang’s Scottish accent and the difficulty Americans have pronouncing his first name, Barry.

Despite the hiccup, Johnson and Gallus managed to work together effectively, with Wolfgang stepping in as Roman Reigns during practice sessions. Their collaboration paid off during the WrestleMania event, highlighting the strong connection between the participants.

The Rock, who returned to the WWE stage after a long hiatus, faced minor challenges but successfully showcased his commitment during the WrestleMania 40 event.
