Hall-of-Famer and long-time Paul “Triple H” Levesque pal Kevin Nash weighed in on whether there is any fire to the smoke, claiming the head of WWE creative and The Rock have backstage issues.
Most assumed that WrestleMania 41 would close with The Rock making his rumored return to cost Cody Rhodes his WWE title and add another chapter to their ongoing feud. However, “The Final Boss” was nowhere to be found in April. His absence led to a lot of speculation, and former announcer Jonathan Coachman claimed the pair of legends are having backstage issues.
Kevin Nash knows Triple H more than the majority of the planet. That’s why he unsurprisingly offered up his thoughts on the rumors. And he believes there are no emerging creative issues between the WWE executive and the TKO Group Holdings board member.
“I don’t see the tension. Does anybody know what IMDb is? And then you go to their page, and you see the projects he has? Dwayne is pretty busy. You have to realize he still has skin in the game. He still has ring time left, and he wants certain things to align a certain way for him. Dwayne is not looking at what’s best for the company. He’s looking at what’s best for the character.”

This will likely end the ongoing speculation. Especially after Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson offered up some questionable reasoning for his WrestleMania 41 absence during a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.” He also suggested he would have done the end of the event differently if he had been overseeing the creative for the match.
Since taking part in nights one and two of WrestleMania 40, The Rock’s WWE appearances have been random and confusing. At the WWE Raw Netflix premiere, he was out of his recent heel character and buddy-buddy with Rhodes. Only to be a part of John Cena’s eventual turn and attack on the former WWE champ two months later.
