The Rock has acknowledged the hard work of 3 WWE stars who helped him prepare for his monumental comeback at WrestleMania 40.
In front of a packed Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, The Final Boss teamed up with Roman Reigns in the main event of night one to defeat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins to set up the epic Bloodline Rules match the next night. Competing in his first major match in over a decade, Rock showed no signs of ring rust and pulled out all the stops in the 45-minute encounter.
Ahead of the match, an insight into the Hollywood star’s preparation for the match was provided. Along with having a ring shipped out to Hawaii, it was revealed that The Rock trained for the WrestleMania match alongside the Gallus faction of Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, & Wolfgang.
With WrestleMania 40 now over, Joe Coffey shared a shot of Gallus and The People’s Champion on social media:
