The Rock discusses working with Triple H.
In January 2024, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was appointed to the TKO Board of Directors. He then returned to WWE programming, and he was one of the main stars on the road to WWE WrestleMania XL. After taking some time away, he made a one-off return at WWE Bad Blood. The Rock appeared again at the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere, and he returned on the February 21st episode of WWE SmackDown. Throughout this journey, he has worked with WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H.
Speaking at the WWE SmackDown Post-Show Press Conference, The Rock discussed his working relationship with WWE Chief Content Officier Triple H.
"Nick Khan and Triple H, as well. With those two guys in particular...wrestling is an interesting business to be in because, while it’s a big business, I also feel like you’ve got to love it. If you’re these C Suite Executives, you have to love the business. That’s what Triple H, loves this business. I’ve known him for a long time. We’ve done a lot of fun stuff together, a lot of crazy stuff. He’s doing a great job. I talk with him often. We’re very close. What I like about Triple H is that he’ll present me with something, I’ll like it, then we’ll chop it up, we’ll talk about it, and I’ll present him something else. Ultimately, what I love about Paul, by the way, it’s always been this way with Paul. Even back when we were wrestling every night together on the road. ‘Hey, let’s do something that’s never been done. Let’s do something that is unpredictable. Let’s do something that is bold.’ Regarding tonight with the Final Boss and coming to Cody Rhodes and saying, ‘I want to make you bigger than The Rock and I want to provide you and make all your dreams come true and your baby’s baby’s babies, and legacy. I want to make it all come true.’ Audacious, bold, disruptive. I could tell Paul and he’ll say, ‘Yeah, great, let’s go for it.’ I love that about him. That’s the bond that we have. Nick is the same way. Ari Emanuel, who is my very close business partner, who is the owner, feels the same way as well," The Rock said.
