Again, it's no surprise that a WWE superstar who ran in circles with Triple H and Shawn Michaels as part of D-Generation X had real-life heat against The Rock.

Back in March 2020, Road Dogg appeared on Pete Rosenberg's ESPN podcast, 'Cheap Heat', and talked about various topics including his early relationship with The Rock in WWE.

“I was always jealous of him because I thought I was a good talker, he was [too] a good talker. But one thing I didn’t have was a good body compared to him”. He continued, “So because of that, I treated him harshly when we were both up and coming. We all had our fun with him when he was Rocky Maivia, with the pineapple head and those sorts of things, but what he had become was undeniable, with a great body, great talker, great entertainer”. (h/t eWrestlingNews.)

Fortunately, once Road Dogg cleaned up his act and got sober, The Rock was one of the first people he approached to make amends. Just like The Rock's relationship with Triple H in WWE, all seems to be good between him and Road Dogg right now.
