In this special episode of Pro Wrestling Focus, we break down all the buzz, backlash, and behind-the-scenes heat following The Rock’s absence from the biggest show of the year — despite being a central figure in the John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes storyline leading into it. The Rock finally addressed the elephant in the room during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, saying he wasn’t needed at WrestleMania because Cena’s heel turn at Elimination Chamber was, in his words, “the biggest angle in pro wrestling history.” He claimed it was time for him to “step back into the shadows.” But the controversy didn’t stop there. Rock stirred the pot further by saying he “would’ve adjusted things creatively” during the Cody/Cena build — a comment that set off Busted Open Radio’s Dave LaGreca, who accused Rock of throwing Triple H under the bus.
