Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson made a notable return to wrestling at WrestleMania on Saturday, marking his first match in 11 years. His decision to participate was influenced by his lifelong friendship with WWE president Nick Khan, as he revealed in an ESPN story by @marcraimondi and Mike Coppinger. However, his appearance was marred by controversy as he arrived nearly two hours late to the WWE World event in Philadelphia. The Rock attributed his tardiness to being caught up watching videos of Jalen Hurts losing in the playoffs on YouTube. This comment sparked reactions among Eagles fans and attendees at the event.
