Endeavor could use some shocking tactics to secure The Rock for WrestleMania, claims ex-WWE employee (Exclusive)
Former WWE head writer Vince Russo recently spoke about The Rock's status for WrestleMania 41. The 52-year-old star is a box-office attraction for the Stamford-based company.
The Final Boss made headlines when he made a surprise appearance at Bad Blood 2024. Although the Hollywood megastar did not say a word, his presence had fans speculating about his involvement in WWE's plans for WrestleMania.
While speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW podcast, Russo claimed that Endeavor would do everything in its power to secure The Rock for The Show of Shows. He claimed WWE's parent company would even consider paying off any Hollywood studio to get The Brahma Bull to make appearances at The Showcase of The Immortals. The 63-year-old veteran believed WWE fans did not grasp Endeavor's strength and influence.
"I don't think people understand the power of Endeavor. Endeavor is in the entertainment business, bro. So, if The Rock were scheduled to work on that day, you don't think a hefty paycheck to the studio would (do it)? That's why it's ridiculous, bro. I don't think people really understand how dominant and strong that company is and what kind of stroke they have," Vince Russo said. [5:40 - 6:13]
