The Rock’s Heel Turn at WWE World: Stirring Up Controversy Before WrestleMania Begins – News Puk

WrestleMania is a spectacle where wrestlers often turn heel in the ring, and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson did just that by teasing the crowd before even setting foot in Lincoln Financial Field. Scheduled to appear at WWE World, WWE’s impressive pre-WrestleMania convention, at 4pm on Thursday, The Rock was late, prompting fans to question his absence and speculate what could have caused the delay.

When he finally arrived on stage around 6 pm, the audience greeted him with whistles. Stena responded to the crowd’s reaction by asking if they were booing because he was late. He then took a jab at Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, referencing his playoff losses and suggesting that fans should be grateful for The Rock’s presence. Despite the Eagles’ recent struggles, the team remains a favorite in Philly, and criticizing them on stage in front of a Philly crowd is likely to receive a cold response. However, that may be exactly what The Rock wants as he accepts being a heel in the wrestling world. His ability to rile up the crowd and create drama adds to the excitement and anticipation of his appearance at WrestleMania.
