Following John Cena’s victory over Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 Sunday to win his Seventeenth-World Championship, fans and wrestling media alike voiced their frustration with the important event on social media. Although many were satisfied with Cena coming out victorious, rapper Travis Scott’s involvement within the match and The Rock being absent at the top of the important event were two priority concerns for fans, especially because “The Final Boss” had been heavily involved in Cena’s heel turn on the Elimination Chamber.
On Tuesday morning, The Rock was a guest on “The Pat McAfee Show,” where he explained the reasoning for his WrestleMania 41 absence, stating that he wanted Rhodes and Cena to shine within the highlight without him, but did admit he would’ve conducted points of the match in another way from a creative standpoint. “The Great One’s” remarks didn’t sit too well with “Busted Open Radio” host Dave LaGreca, who unleashed an explosive rant on The Rock, claiming that he “threw Triple H under the bus” and may’ve kept quiet about wanting to book the match in another way.
Following LaGreca’s opinions on the ending to WrestleMania 41, The Rock responded to his rant on Instagram just hours later, advising the “Busted Open” host to avoid pontificating for his own health.
“Hi Dave, the business is a whole work. At all times has been, all the time will probably be. Every aspect of it. Every match. Every interview. Please join me, Cody, Cena, Brian and the remaining of us for our creative discussions so you’ll be able to expand your perspective. Until then, stop ranting, it is not healthy my friend. Benefit from the show. Ps, tell Bubba I even have Grand Marnier and hush puppies for all of us.”
During Tuesday’s interview, The Rock revealed that it was completely his decision to not be involved at WrestleMania 41, and that “The Final Boss” didn’t need to seem following Cena’s betrayal of Rhodes and the WWE Universe last month.
