The Rock recently broke character to praise Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins. The four-some main evented Night 1 of WrestleMania XL, with Rock and Roman beating Rhodes and Rollins in a wild tag team match.

During the buildup for WrestleMania XL, Rock created The Final Boss character to make Rhodes' life a living hell. However, The American Nightmare overcame the odds to beat Reigns and finish the story by winning the Undisputed WWE Championship in the main event of Night 2.

Speaking on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Rock was asked about returning to WWE and wrestling at WrestleMania XL. He praised his fellow stars in the main event of Night 1 for putting in the effort to make it stand out.

"I had such a great time. Cody and Seth and Roman, it was just wild. I grew up in that world of pro wrestling. There's nothing like when that music hits and the crowd goes crazy," Rocky said. [H/T: Fightful]

On the other hand, Moana 2 will be released on November 25th worldwide. It's the sequel to the popular 2016 Disney animated film of the same name. Rock reprises his voice role as Maui, the demigod of the sea who likes to sing.


The Rock feels at home in WWE

In the same appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, The Rock admitted to feeling at home in WWE. He loves performing in front of the crowd despite making the most of his fortune as an actor. He grew up in the business and loved seeing it grow into a worldwide phenomenon.

"I grew up in the world of pro wrestling, and I followed the careers of my grandfather and my dad. ... The business has grown into what it's grown into. TKO now owns WWE, and I have the honor of sitting on the board of TKO. What a full-circle moment. It's crazy," Rocky said. [H/T: Fightful]
