Dwayne Johnson is busy with his Hollywood projects since he transitioned himself from a WWE superstar to an actor. Even though he is away from the ring, it doesn’t mean he is completely distant from the field of professional wrestling.
He occasionally makes appearances in WWE and makes the entire arena electrifying. Similarly, The Rock returned to Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on the October 6th, 2014 episode of RAW. He entered the building that day to confront Rusev and Lana, who now go by the names Miro and CJ Perry.

The current AEW star Miro after a lot of years later recalled that moment in an interview with talkSPORT recently. He shared about the promos and segments he had with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in 2014 in Brooklyn, New York, and in 2016 in Miami, Florida.
Miro said, “It was just ‘Hey, look at me, I’m The Rock, I need to make fun of everybody.’ So it is what it is at that point. The first one was better, the one in Brooklyn. He showed up out of nowhere, we had a little talk and scuffle.”
He added, “I think that left a sour taste in his mouth. Even though he beat me up a little bit, I got the better of him. Maybe he was just sour about that so he had to come back and talk bad about Lana, imagining things”.
When Dwayne Johnson returned in 2016, he met Lana on his way to the ring. They both recalled how The Rock confronted Rusev and later they had their kayfabe private party.
Miro also said that Johnson’s promos are not offensive at all. He referred The Rock’s promos to a school kid with a loud mouth. Furthermore, he added there is no way he can beat The Brahma Bull in a promo battle.
