WWE The Rock and The Game Triple H have an impressive wrestling career. However, when we look at the trajectory of Triple H’s and The Rock’s career in the WWE, they wouldn’t be who they are without each other. The duo defined the WWE’s Attitude Era with their feud. The relationship between Hunter and Dwayne Johnson was born out of spite and jealousy.

However, they have bonded over time as they grew and made money together. The Rock entered the wrestling business at Survivor series 1996. WWE Chairman Vince McMahon always had big plans for The Great One.

However, producer Bruce recollected that The Rock followed a protocol of sticking to the script as an ethical professional wrestler.

Following the situation, the next time Triple H and The Rock went live inside the square, to cut a promo, Triple H went off script, so did The Rock. WWE Chief reflected that going off scripts in a live match was going back and forth by the rival duo.
