The Rock has been an inspiration to many WWE fans, including Varun Dhawan. The Bollywood star recently revealed his plans to introduce his daughter to the world of professional wrestling.
Dhawan has been a dedicated WWE viewer since his childhood and is a big admirer of Dwayne Johnson. The 37-year-old actor actively shared his reactions on social media to The Final Boss' involvement in the Bloodline saga on the Road to WrestleMania 40.
Ahead of promoting his new movie, Baby John, Varun Dhawan sat down with Ranveer Allahbadia/BeerBiceps on The Ranveer Show and discussed various topics related to wrestling. During the conversation, the Bollywood actor stated that The Rock would be the ideal first wrestler to introduce his daughter to WWE.
Dhawan emphasized Dwayne Johnson's family-friendly persona, particularly appealing to children while acknowledging the need to edit some of his more mature content from the Attitude Era.

"100% The Rock, no doubt, there's no question. Because he also has daughters, so he is a very good introduction to a small child, like family-friendly. I'll not show all of them [Rock's Attitude Era clips to my daughter]. I cannot show them all, but I'll show them after editing them a little. At one age, she will get it. The Rock was like Elvis Presley of that time in the ring. He had the audience by his hands [sic]," he said. [Translated from Hindi] [From 38:00 to 38:28]

The Rock recalls training for his WWE return at WrestleMania 40
At this year's Showcase of The Immortals, The Great One teamed up with his cousin, Roman Reigns. The Bloodline members defeated Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a tag team match in Philadelphia.
In an interview with PEOPLE, The Rock revealed that his preparation for WrestleMania 40 involved an intensive eight-to-nine-week training camp. The former WWE Champion described it as incredibly hard due to its demanding nature.
"It’s incredibly hard. The training becomes really extensive, and the training camp becomes extensive. So, I went [to] training camp for WrestleMania, which was about an eight-to-nine week training camp. It’s really fast, and fortunately, I was able to get through it all," he said.
Fans are speculating that Dwayne Johnson might return to WWE during or after the Roman Reigns vs. Solo Sikoa Tribal Combat Match at the RAW premiere on Netflix.
However, it's uncertain whether the 52-year-old legend will make an appearance on this historic episode of the red brand.
