Triple H: It’ll Be ‘A Hell Of A Ride’ When The Rock Comes Back To WWE

Triple H enjoyed working with The Rock in the build-up to WrestleMania.

The People’s Champion returned to the company after the 2024 Royal Rumble. He originally challenged Roman Reigns to a match, but eventually teamed with him to defeat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 40 Night One.

Triple H recently spoke to the Sports Business Journal about WrestleMania 40, and working with The Rock. He complimented his level of commitment and was shocked to see him turn heel as “The Final Boss.”

“I can only imagine what’s next for The Rock. He’s got his hands in just about everything. We were thrilled to have The Rock being involved. When you can have the biggest star on the globe, arguably, want to be a part of what we do and in a meaningful way, and want to do it in a way where he’s just like, ‘Hey, I’ll come in, tell me what to do and I’ll go do this’. All of his resources. All of his brainpower, all of his creativity, all of those things.”

“His branding, everything. I want to invest in this and make it this amazing ride for our fans. it doesn’t get any better than that. So, his coming in, just across the board, if you would have told us at the beginning of the conversations that we’d get ‘The Final Boss’ heel version of The Rock, I’d have said you’re crazy. That’s his level of commitment. He goes off, makes a few movies now. But as he said a few weeks ago, he’ll be back. It’ll be a hell of a ride when he comes back”

Triple H Had A Great Time Working With The Rock.

Triple H continued. The Game said that he had a great time working with The Rock, and that they understand that filming a movie does not compare to the excitement of wrestling at WrestleMania.

“He does this thing where he comes out and he gets goosebumps. He hits his arms and shows the camera the goosebumps on him. We’ve joked about that for years. There’s nothing else [like it]. He doesn’t finish making a film and get goosebumps all over him. He doesn’t watch the movie when it comes out and get goosebumps all over him. I highly doubt it.”

“When you’re standing in a ring at WrestleMania, 75,000 plus fans going absolutely insane, you get goosebumps all over you. Its the adrenaline rush. It is in his DNA as a human being. He just absolutely loves it. You can see it in his passion for it. He might be going in a million different directions, but the second he steps into our world, he’s all in on us. I was fortunate enough to work with him through the 1990s and the 2000s, and it was a blast to get back together and creatively do this together. I had a great time.”
