Major WWE star praises The Rock

Former Universal Champion Seth Rollins recently spoke highly of The Brahma Bull. At WrestleMania 40, The Visionary and Cody Rhodes lost a tag team match to The Rock and Roman Reigns.

On The Maggie and Perloff Show, Seth Rollins acknowledged the difficulty of wrestling a full-time schedule, even for experienced performers like The Bloodline member. He believed The Rock could still compete in a few more matches, praising his performance at last year's Showcase of The Immortals despite a ten-year absence.

"You know, you get in there one time, and you might think you can do a full schedule, but I don’t know if it’s as easy as it looks. You don’t just get in there, do one match, and think, ‘Oh, okay, I can do this.’ He’s smart enough to know that his days of doing it full-time are gone. Do I think he can get in there and do one more or a couple more? Absolutely. He was in prime condition, he was ready to go, and he was a game opponent. For a guy that hadn’t done it in 10 years, that was really hard," Rollins said.

Fans will have to wait and see which WWE Superstar falls victim to The Final Boss' wrath on SmackDown.
