Five minutes before the segment, Theory and Johnson met for the first time.
Before Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson got back into the swing of being in WWE storylines as he is present day, he made occasional appearances for the company and one of those was on the September 15th Friday Night SmackDown.
Theory looked back at that during his appearance on The Babyfaces Podcast. He shared that he found out 30 minutes prior that he’d be in a segment with Johnson and it was not until five minutes before the segment that he met Johnson for the first time.
Man, that whole experience with The Rock, that was so cool. It was so last-minute. I literally found out maybe 30 minutes before and then, yeah, I actually met The Rock five minutes before that and we went out there and we just felt the crowd and let everything rock and everything — that’s funny I say ‘the rock’. But, yeah, everything just flowed. It worked out really well and maybe I wasn’t supposed to say what I said to The Rock but I said it because I had to say it. Had to put everybody on notice.
The Rock is going to be in action on night one of WrestleMania 40. He’ll be tagging with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns to take on Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
