WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H took part in the post-Royal Rumble press conference and was questioned about whether Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will be competing as part of the WrestleMania 39 pay-per-view this April.

“Apparently, he can’t get in shape in time, that’s what all you tell me. He looked pretty jacked I though, I saw Black Adam the other day and I didn’t think it was the uniform, he’s incredibly busy and I can say this, as a guy that, we grew up as two young kids fighting each other for the spot and having battles over it and in the best way, pushing each other, we all were in that time.

I know for him, I was at a large Emmy event a few years ago, and there was a poster of him, I think he was about to drop the People’s Elbow on me, he was standing over me in this photo and it’s a hyper-focused incredibly detailed picture. As I’m looking at the picture, I realized he had goosebumps all over him standing over me, I took a picture of it and sent it to him and I said, you don’t get this in Hollywood, do you. It’s a rush, but after the 12th time you’ve done that take, probably not as exciting as the first couple.

There is nothing like this, nothing. I know for him, and I know his family and background, there is a part of him that if he could be here for this and for WrestleMania in Hollywood, he would turn over every stone and walk through fire to be able to do it if he could. I just don’t think it’s in the cards, but then again, I don’t know, we always have conversations with him because he loves it so much, and we would love for him to be a part of it, he’s the biggest star in Hollywood, and maybe the most recognizable person on the planet, why wouldn’t we want him to be a part of it, this is his home.

It’s an open invitation, we don’t lock the door, he has an open invitation to walk through it any time he wants, but he’s incredibly busy. I think that respect factors both ways, he wouldn’t want to do it unless he could absolutely do it, there is no way he would show up here and half-a** it, there is no way he would show up here and not come in and want to put every single thing he had into it to make it the best it could possibly be, and unless he could do that, it won’t happen. He knows that the door is open, and when he has the time and availability to do it, he can come in and electrify everybody.”
