In a bold and unequivocal response, The Rock, a prominent member of the TKO board, has slammed recent reports about him in WWE as “complete horses**t”. The wrestling icon’s fiery retort comes amidst swirling speculations regarding his unconventional promos and alleged preferential treatment within the company.
Since making his triumphant return to WWE earlier this year, The Rock has injected a newfound edge into his promos, featuring explicit language and provocative references seldom heard from other WWE stars. This departure from the norm has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions within the wrestling community.
Renowned wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, in his widely-read Wrestling Observer Newsletter, shed light on the internal dynamics at play, suggesting a resurgence of Vince McMahon’s perceived double standards in the wake of The Rock’s return. Meltzer’s report hinted at a palpable discontent among some within the locker room, citing The Rock’s position on the TKO board as a shield against any potential repercussions.
However, The Rock wasted no time in setting the record straight, taking to social media to deliver a blunt and resounding rebuttal to the allegations. Dismissing the reports as baseless and unfounded, The Rock left no room for ambiguity with his succinct declaration.
“This story is complete horses**t,” The Rock declared in response to Wrestlelamia’s summary of the purported controversy, leaving little doubt about his stance on the matter.
Prior to Meltzer’s revelations, WWE talents had reportedly been issued strict guidelines regarding language usage, aligning with the company’s PG rating. However, The Rock’s departure from these norms seemingly sparked discontent among certain quarters, leading to murmurs of dissent within the ranks.
As the wrestling world awaits The Rock’s highly-anticipated return to the ring at WrestleMania 40, where he is slated to team up with Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, the controversy surrounding his recent remarks adds an intriguing layer to an already anticipated showdown.
