5 friends of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in AEW

#2. AEW star CM Punk and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson have become good friends

Initially, AEW star CM Punk and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson had trouble getting on the same page in WWE. The two men had a rivalry in 2013 that saw them trading insults on the mic.

Behind the scenes, it looks like the two men became close friends. The Rock even called the AEW star on the phone during an off-air segment in WWE where fans were chanting for The Best in the World.

The AEW star later spoke about missing The Rock’s call and figuring out what was going on.

"I was in the elevator, going to the bottom floor to walk Larry. I was in the elevator, no reception in the elevator. My phone, no messages, I get in the elevator, it's really slow, by the time it gets down and I walk out and I have 87 messages on my phone. I think somebody is dead! I had no idea what was going on until I'm done with the walk, 'Oh, Rock is calling me, live from the Staples Center, okay. I started texting him immediately after that, he got right back to me like, I'm like, 'Oh, brother! I was trying to answer, I was outside, I was in an elevator.' It just didn't work out." CM Punk said.

It’s good to know that the two men have buried the hatchet and are pretty close together in real-life. They are among the top stars in the industry and have done well in their respective fields over the past decade. Will they meet once again in AEW?
