In his talk with Ryan Satin of FOX Sports, he revealed the short backstage conversation with The Rock. Ali said that The Rock arrived at Raw for filming for a movie where he saw him walking with a camera crew. Although he was busy with his talks, he stopped to greet everyone.
Further, Ali said, “He walks by all the [cruiserweight], who are pretty much posted up against the wall to not be in his way. He stops, does a 180, and says hello to all of us. Shook everyone’s hand. Now, saying hello shouldn’t be a big deal, but when you’re brand-new and one of the biggest stars in the world treats you as a peer, it means something. A class act from him.”
