Former WWE star Erick Rowan felt humiliated after loss to The Rock at WrestleMania
At WrestleMania 32, The Rock made a sensational return. However, his comeback was interrupted by The Wyatt Family. Engaging in a back-and-forth segment with them, The Rock eventually issued a challenge to any member of the group for a match. Erick Rowan accepted the challenge, but, unfortunately, he fell victim to The Rock Bottom and suffered a quick defeat in just six seconds.
In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Rowan discussed how he was selected to face The Rock. He explained that, at that time, Braun Strowman couldn't be beaten, and WWE aimed to protect Bray Wyatt. Hence, it came down to him and Luke Harper to determine who would take the quickest pin.
While Rowan acknowledged the personal honor, he also admitted that it was a humiliating experience for him as Erick Rowan.
"Well, it was a short one. I don't know why you gotta remind me of this. Because Braun couldn't be beat, they had to protect Windham and Jon had just suffered a torn patella. So it would have been paper rock scissors between me and Jon taking the quickest pin. So yeah, I just happened to win the short straw on that one. As Joseph Ruud Yes, it was an honour. As Erick Rowan, that was humiliating," Erick said.
With The Rock now back in WWE, it appears that he is gearing up for his first match since WrestleMania 32. He has challenged the duo of Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins to a tag team match against him and Roman Reigns at this year's Show of Shows.
