Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock is arguably the biggest star WWE has ever produced, and it is safe to say that is due to his Hollywood success too. The People’s Champion has seen the heights of success in both industries and still has a massive influence on WWE.
Being a megastar Dwayne Johnson is such a big name that other WWE superstars are still compared to him. In a similar case, the People’s Champion once referred to an active female WWE star as “the female Rock.” The female star was none other than legendary WWE female superstar “Trish Stratus.”
The Rock made sure Trish Stratus knew how highly he rated the female superstar. The entire WWE universe thought of this tag as an act to put over the female WWE star. However, recently, a former WWE Writer disagreed with this claim.
During a recent upload on Sportskeeda WrestlingBing‘s YouTube channel, Former WWE Writer Vince Russo shared his honest thoughts about the incident. Vince claims that Johnson calling Trish Stratus the ‘female Rock’ during the backstage conversation was his way of hitting rather than praising the former women’s champion.
Vince said, “EC3, help me out here. Is he not hitting on her with this line? Let’s be honest… So, he’s probably hitting on her. Not to discredit any female wrestler out there because I love the female wrestlers, with the exception of Zoey [Stark], but was he not hitting on her? That sounds like Rock hitting on Trish Stratus, man.”
The former writer clarified that he wasn’t ignoring Trish’s influence on pro wrestling. However, he just believed Dwayne might have had other ideas when he said that line to Stratus during their conversation.
Vince recalled when he was introduced to Trish by Billy Gunn. While he was a big fan of the WWE superstar, Russo didn’t think she was at the same level as the WWE megastar, The Rock.
Has The Rock ever been accused of cheating?
The Rock is a megastar, but sometimes he has been in the headlines for the wrong reasons too. The People’s Champion has been accused of cheating while he was in a relationship with his ex-wife, Dany Garcia.
The surprising fact about those cheating allegations was that he didn’t cheat on his current wife, Lauren Hashian, but on American actress Robbin Young. She claimed that she was unaware of The Rock’s marriage when they got in touch.
Dwayne Johnson married his first wife, Dany Garcia, in 1997, but they had to part ways in 2008. However, they’ve remained friends after that. The megastar then started to date his current wife, Lauren Hashian. The couple dated for about 10 years before finally tying the knot in 2019. The couple now has three beautiful children: Simone, Jasmine, and Tiana.
The People’s Champion has not been an active WWE superstar for a long time but is reported to be returning to WWE soon. Reports claim that he can return at WWE SummerSlam to cost Roman Reigns his WWE Undisputed Universal title. Do you think these reports will actually come true?
