Wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell is stirring up excitement with his belief that The Rock might be eyeing a showdown with a current WWE Superstar post-WrestleMania XL, and that star could very well be LA Knight.
The Brahma Bull made his grand return to the WWE earlier this year, and since then, he’s taken a heel turn, aligning himself with The Bloodline.
Now, at 51, he’s locked in a feud with Cody Rhodes and the World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins.
Scheduled to tag with his cousin, the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, The Rock is all set to square off against The American Nightmare and The Visionary at WrestleMania XL.
Known for his unparalleled mic skills, The Rock’s return has ignited speculation about how it might impact the careers of other WWE stars, especially LA Knight, whose promo abilities have also caught the eye of many.
Drawing comparisons to both The Brahma Bull and Stone Cold Steve Austin, Knight’s potential clash with The Rock has fans buzzing with excitement.
During an episode of his podcast, Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the seasoned wrestler shared his thoughts on the matter, envisioning a verbal showdown between the two.
While acknowledging The Rock’s scripted lines versus Knight’s freestyle, Mantell expressed his eagerness to witness the verbal sparring, echoing the sentiments of many fans.
On the WrestleMania XL front, while The Rock gears up for his first in-ring appearance in eight years, facing LA Knight is also on the cards. Engaged in a heated feud with AJ Styles on SmackDown, Knight found himself in the limelight after a recent altercation that led to his arrest.
Interestingly, before making his way to WWE, Knight crossed paths with The Rock on his reality show, “The Hero.”
In an interview with Gorilla Position, Knight shared insights into their camaraderie, hinting at a recent backstage chat.
With anticipation building up, the question remains: Will we witness The Rock locking horns with LA Knight? Wrestling enthusiasts can’t wait to find out.
