Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, recently treated a WWE star who is currently sidelined from in-ring action to ice cream and spent time with him after their collaboration at WrestleMania 40. Despite being on-screen rivals at the start of 2024, Seth Rollins and “The Final Boss” have shared a strong friendship behind the scenes for years.
While Rollins was battling Johnson’s Final Boss persona on WWE television, The Rock was simultaneously busy with his Hollywood commitments. Johnson earned praise for his performance as UFC legend Mark Kerr in the film The Smashing Machine. Known for his dedication long before becoming a global movie star, The Rock remains one of the most respected figures in professional wrestling.
Daily Workouts and SmackDown Rivalry in 2024
The Rock is known for his intense daily workout routine and travels everywhere with his personal gym, famously called the Iron Paradise. He is also well known for enjoying cheat days. Seth Rollins recently appeared on the Games With Names YouTube channel, where he shared insights about Johnson’s personality and lifestyle.
Their on-screen rivalry in 2024 stemmed from Rollins supporting Cody Rhodes in his battle against The Bloodline. During this period, Johnson debuted his “Final Boss” character and aligned himself with the Anoa’i family on Friday Night SmackDown.
Rollins Reflects on WrestleMania 40 Gesture
While recalling WrestleMania 40, Rollins repeatedly praised The Rock for a thoughtful gesture after the event, where they competed in a high-profile tag team match alongside Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.
“When I got hurt after WrestleMania 40, he sent me a giant amount of ice cream and chocolate. I mean, it was so much that we still have pints in the fridge. There’s just too much ice cream to finish. He’s a big cheat-day guy,” Rollins said.
Seth Rollins’ Dominant Run and Heel Turn
Seth Rollins went on to have a dominant year, highlighted by his victory over Roman Reigns and CM Punk at WrestleMania 41. He later aligned himself with Paul Heyman to form The Vision, marking a major heel turn. Rollins then captured the Money in the Bank briefcase for the second time in his career, reclaiming it at SummerSlam against longtime rival CM Punk.
Injury Forces Rollins Out of Action
Unfortunately, Rollins’ momentum was halted after he suffered an injury during a match against Cody Rhodes at the Crown Jewel event in Perth. The former World Heavyweight Champion was forced to vacate his title. Meanwhile, Triple H has hinted at a possible timeline for Seth Rollins’ return, keeping fans hopeful for his comeback.
