In a surprising revelation, Hollywood actress Emily Blunt, known for her roles in films like “Jungle Cruise” and “Edge of Tomorrow,” recently admitted to receiving an invitation from none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to attend WrestleMania 40. However, she opted to watch the event from the comfort of her couch instead.
The British actress made the admission during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, where she shared her experience of working with The Rock on the set of “Jungle Cruise.” Blunt revealed that Johnson had showered her with gifts, including tequila and sports gear, following their first movie together. When Stern mentioned that Johnson had offered her tickets to WrestleMania 40, Blunt confirmed the rumor, stating that she had never watched The Rock wrestle before.
In a heartwarming anecdote, Blunt shared that her brother was a huge fan of professional wrestling and had always wanted to attend WrestleMania. She recalled how her brother would always ask her to take him to the event, but unfortunately, he was too ill to attend. Blunt’s admission sparked a nostalgic moment, highlighting the impact of WrestleMania on fans worldwide.
It’s worth noting that Emily Blunt is set to star alongside The Rock in their upcoming project, “The Smashing Machine.” When the news broke in March, Johnson took to social media to praise Blunt, calling her inspiring. Their collaboration is highly anticipated, given their on-screen chemistry in “Jungle Cruise.”
Meanwhile, in WWE, The Rock’s absence has led to a shift in power dynamics. Roman Reigns and The Rock teamed up on Night One of WrestleMania 40 to take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a high-stakes tag team match.
Although they emerged victorious, it wasn’t enough to put an end to Cody Rhodes’ story on Night Two. In The Rock’s absence, Solo Sikoa has added Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa to The Bloodline faction, leaving fans eagerly awaiting The Final Boss’ return to WWE. With The Rock vowing to go after Cody Rhodes and his title, the WWE universe is bracing for a thrilling showdown.
While Emily Blunt may have missed out on the action at WrestleMania 40, her admission has sparked a flurry of interest in the WWE universe. As fans eagerly await The Rock’s return, one thing is certain – the world of professional wrestling has never been more charming.
