This year’s WrestleMania XL, dubbed the biggest of all, saw the introduction of WWE World. Much akin to the WWE Axxess, fans could meet and interact with their favorite stars. Not only that, but the stars would also cut promos ahead of their match on the Grandest Stage of them All. Among the stars was Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, ready to be Heel Rock before his first match in eight years against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. However, a little girl left him speechless.
Among the matches at Mania XL, The Rock and Roman Reigns vs. Rhodes and Rollins is the most anticipated. While the feud has been going strong, this girl’s comment had some hard truth to it.

The Rock attended WWE World for his interview with Micheal Cole ahead of Mania XL. While fans were excited for the promo, one little girl was ready to cook him. While Johnson was on stage talking about Rhodes, he said, “He comes in, does whatever he wants, says whatever he wants.” This is when his eyes fell on a child in the front row. Noticing her, he asked, “You’re shaking your head. You don’t agree?”

Seeing her opportunity to talk to The Great One, she said, “You didn’t win the Royal Rumble, Cody did.” While the crowd erupted in cheers, Johnson stood there speechless. Not only was he stumped for a moment, but he also broke character by smiling. It was clear that The Rock was not ready for that line.

Johnson tried to argue that he wanted to be in the WWE sooner, but the damage was done. However, he did continue his promo without any issues. This was a very rare moment that showed that despite being a heel, Johnson could never really go all Final Boss on children. Unfortunately, he can show up late.
The Rock shows up two hours late at WWE World
The Rock was supposed to kick off the WWE World event at 4 PM EST. However, he was a no-show when the event started. According to reports, he was two hours behind schedule. However, once he got there, he went all Heel Rock on the audience in Philly.

He claimed that the reason for him being late was the fact that he was watching Jalen Hurts lose in the playoffs on YouTube. While the fans were irked by him not being on time, they were excited to hear what he had to say. This is probably why the little girl roasted him so bad. What did you think of the interaction?
