The Rock wasn't thrilled one bit over CM Punk's comment during the WrestleMania XL Kickoff tonight.

At the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff, The Great One slapped Cody Rhodes after the latter verbally attacked The Bloodline. Shortly after, CM Punk said that Cody's too diplomatic and that he should have slapped the veteran back.
Punk then said that he wanted to see Rhodes punch The Rock in the face and then asked the fans in attendance whether they wanted to see it as well.
The Great One could be seen angrily looking at Punk while he was making the comment.

Back in early 2013, Punk and The Rock were involved in a WWE Championship feud on the Road to WrestleMania. At Royal Rumble, the two megastars faced off in a match for the top prize, with The Rock ending Punk's 434-day title reign.
The Rock went on to face John Cena at 'Mania, where he lost the WWE Title to the 16-time World Champion. It has been more than a decade since Punk and The Rock feuded. Punk certainly didn't seem happy over The Rock slapping Rhodes tonight.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
