AEW wrestler Serena Deeb recently stirred up some controversy, accusing WWE legend The Rock of swiping her nickname, “The Final Boss.” She mentioned using the term on AEW Collision, only to find The Rock adopting it shortly afterward.
During a virtual signing for the Highspots Superstore, Deeb shared her surprise, saying,
“Funny thing is, I said that on Collision and then the following week…I don’t even know if I can say this. [Someone says he stole it] He stole it? Someone took it, and you guys would know who he is,”
she said.

Meanwhile, The Rock made a memorable appearance on SmackDown last Friday, treating the audience to one of his famous ‘Rock Concerts.’
In his signature style, he teased Cody Rhodes for his emotional display about his mother on WWE RAW and predicted another disappointment for The American Nightmare at WrestleMania XL.
Following a backlash from fans, The Rock took a villainous turn, seemingly due to a perceived handover of the WrestleMania 40 main event by Cody Rhodes.
This heel persona has resonated well, with The Rock enjoying the chance to rile up wrestling enthusiasts once again.
According to former WWE writer Vince Russo, The Rock’s recent actions may indicate a focus on his own agenda rather than helping heighten Roman Reigns as intended.
Russo speculated that The Rock might prioritize his own status over building up Reigns’ popularity.
As The Rock gears up for another appearance on WWE RAW before WrestleMania XL, speculation mounts about what role he’ll play in the event and beyond. Only time will reveal WWE’s plans for the veteran wrestler as the grand event approaches.
