Regarding The Rock’s WWE Comeback, a WWE producer said, “He ain’t taking nobody’s spot”

Since making his comeback in January, The Rock has significantly boosted WWE’s revenue, shattering numerous records in the process.

At WrestleMania XL, Rock and Roman Reigns faced up against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, with the heels coming through. Even yet, Rhodes got his retribution the following night as he defeated Reigns to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Title. WWE hinted at a future Rock vs. Rhodes match during the Raw program that followed Megaman.

WWE Producer Shane “Hurricane” Helms discussed certain wrestlers’ dissatisfaction with Rock’s most recent comeback during an appearance on the Behind The Turnbuckle podcast.

First of all, The Rock isn’t displacing anyone. The Rock’s location is set in stone. That is his place to show up if he so chooses. People need to understand that this is the way things are going to be. That holds true for all types of entertainment. You visit a humor club. It’s possible that someone will be moved if Dave Chappelle appears. That is the way things will be. That’s the way things are. Once you’ve completed the level, stars have mass. They are stars because of this. That was a nice little metaphor. And when you have the gravitas that The Rock does, you’re going to attract outside observers and attention, man. You have to come to terms with the fact that that is simply part of the game. About Rock being a heel, I thought that was great. In any case, it was something I was somewhat hoping for.

Helms clarified that he enjoys Rock being a heel because of their past collaboration; he got to work with Rock during his last heel phase and felt it paid off this time around. He also enjoys WrestleMania’s two nights because the event has grown in popularity in recent years.
