The former Cruiserweight Championship opened up on a variety of topics from his 10-year WWE career, including the time that The Rock thought he was a Make-A-Wish child in the backstage area.
This story has been told in the past, but Hornswoggle went into great detail on this occasion by taking Edge and Christian through every step of the bizarre encounter.
It began with The Rock returning backstage after cutting a promo in front of the Miami fans. Hornswoggle then introduced himself to the Hollywood star, who referred to him as “little buddy” and asked if he enjoyed the show tonight.
When Hornswoggle told Kofi Kingston, the New Day member said that The Rock probably thought he was an ill child who had been invited to watch a live episode of Raw as part of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
The Big Show then found out about the story and relayed it to The Rock, who initially laughed it off before admitting that he did not know who Hornswoggle was because he did not watch WWE at the time.
