"Very emotional" - WWE star Michin breaks character to heap praise on The Rock; recalls heartfelt backstage conversation with The Final Boss
Michin has had one of the best years of her WWE career in 2024. She recently competed at Saturday Night's Main Event, where she faced Chelsea Green in the finals to crown the inaugural Women's United States Champion.
Although Michin came up short in the match, it doesn’t diminish the incredible year she’s had on SmackDown. She recently appeared on the Casual Conversations with The Classic podcast to reflect on her 2024 journey and her career as a whole.
During the interview, Michin was asked if she had ever spoken with The Rock. She revealed that meeting him was an emotional experience. She shared that she told The Rock how much he had changed her life and inspired her to start watching wrestling. Michin described him as incredibly kind and noted that he took five minutes to talk to her and offer her advice.
"I'm very emotional, surprisingly but when I could get through the tears, I told him, 'You changed my life. You're the reason why I started watching wrestling in the first place.' And he was so sweet. So many people wanted to pull him left, right, front - they were trying to pull him everywhere but he took the time to actually take five minutes to listen to me and give me advice," Michin said.
