Anyone doubting this story. The Rock posted on social media from his hospital bed when this happened. The Hercules production team confirmed they had to push the movie back because of the emergency surgery. But The Rock went back as soon as he could to not hold up the movie even more.

[@edwardiputo]

The funny thing about that match, I've seen it hundreds of time and it's impossible to tell that he was seriously hurt. Tough S.O.B.

[@anasshahid224]

Respect to The Rock for finishing his match with John Cena at WrestleMania 29 with a torn abdomen, he’s a warrior 👏👏👏🫡

[@marionava3420]

Man I just saw a video where the rock says that he torn something else with on his left leg, and and he’s talking about the same match… is he just making it up or what cuz he didn’t say anything about abdomen

[@edgesucks09]

​​​@@marionava3420The abdomen injury is well known because it stopped his shooting schedule...now the quad injury he hasn't spoken a lot about it so maybe he forgot to mention but if you're speaking about the LA Lakers speech then he speaks about the same injury and mentions both Ps : You cam find another comment in here that mentions he posted updates on his insta when it happened as well so..

[@LoudFlimzz]

This whole hour of The Rock was ELECTRIFYING!!

[@DontBeMad911]

Stop kid you’re embarrassing yourself

[@KTF0]

People hated on how ESPN paid McAfee, yet, he gets the Rock, Coach Prime, and Aaron Rodgers in the same damn show.

[@codys7942]

He had Rodgers and Prime before he sold out to ESPN

[@BlkFreakozoid]

​@@codys7942Better resources for his show, new family, less to deal with and some how bitter fans still stuck on him selling out. Can't please a fuckin soul.

what i didnt expect is pat & rock then make a surprised appearance on smackdown

[@vector7938]

@5:06 I love the energy of that spontaneous choir. 😆

[@damikey85]

Wrestlers from that era are definitely the toughest. They don’t whine and complain or anything. They’re true real men and will do the match and continue by any means necessary. HHH, Undertaker, Rock, Kurt Angle, Stonecold etc have all had many injuries yet put on a stellar show

[@babauranai]

Theres a famous history of Bryan danielson getting in triple hs face after he stopped one of bryans matches for safety. Word is that bryan yelled to hunter he himself end ended a match on injury and all the old school guys did too, but triple h just said "things changed" and now they dont play superhero with the new health protocols

[@Leoporhoy]

that´s the professionalism of wrestling, you finish the match whether you have a torn pec, a torn quad, a torn abdomen or even a broken freaking neck.

[@HeisenbergsDrugs]

I honestly loved Cena vs The Rock 2. It didn’t have the magic of WM28 but it was still a great match

[@JJT209]

just stupid to call it once in a lifetime and then do it again the next year

He didn’t shoot it down… LA KNIGHT VS ROCK! Your move poppa H 😂

[@mookieclash4373]

I was at the match at Wrestlemania and it was the most electric atmospehere ever. Thank you Rock 🙏🏻

[@stamatisgatanas604]

It’s a true story because he left the metropolitan area immediately after the ppv and went home it even messed up plans for the next nights raw because he was originally in the script and he got heat from wwe for it

[@statsneverlie4745]

Rock is tough 💪

[@saketarora]

Last match? No that was against Eric Rowan at WM! It was the last headliner though

[@henryarmendariz7667]

Ehhh i rewatched the match. The moment he described when Cena hits the rock bottom was actually 20-21 mins into the match already. Then 5ish 8ish minutes later the match ends. He described it as it happened within 10 minutes of the match starting and then he endured another 25 minutes continuing on🤔. Idk…..

[@HARAMBEAKAGEORGEFLOYD]

I don't even think there was 5 minutes left it was over pretty quick after the rock bottom

[@FluffyKing43]

Did you watch the full match or highlights? Because I’ve also watched it and he’s almost exactly right he’s off by like 4-5!minutes so what!

I just seen a reel he said 15 mins into the match now 10 yea he gettin old af 😂😂😂

[@johnnywalker5745]

The Rock forgot that his last match was at WrestleMania 32 with Erick Rowan. Lmao

[@ELPRES1DENTE45]

He's starting to tell those Hulk Hogan stories and get all his names/dates/facts/etc all mixed up.

[@abovewater6918]

No, his dates are 100% correct. He did go film Hercules right after this. The production confirmed they pushed the movie back a bit for his emergency hernia surgery. The Rock posted on social media from his hospital bed when this happened. Just google "Dwayne Johnson hospital bed surgery post" there's tons of articles

[@typicalfordguy]

What

[@Kofi_Mensahs_BurnerAccount]

The injury was real. The rock didn’t say he was about to join G Unit or something 🤣

[@youforget1000thingsaday]

I mean, he's Samoan. They're nearly invincible.

[@SOTriggered]

Hey boys let’s fix that title yeah? Injured against Cena.

[@slimypickle19]

Rock was clearly not in ring shape as he'd wrestled maybe 3 full matches in the last 10 years at that point? It's no shocker that he got injured & is also why CM Punk kept getting hurt in his AEW run. Out 7 years & an older body just isn't used to that toll.

[@jmarquez9369]

Wtf. I have to watch that match.

[@xPOOPx]

Big props to the rock for admitting he only wants to appear for wwe if it's appropriate, the legend appearances are nice but you have to admit the aura of the rock has been preserved a lot better than stone cold showing up to stunner someone every few years. It was still cool, just a little less cool each time.

[@FluffyKing43]

He wants to Vs Reigns he’s spoken about how they’ve tried to make it happen a few times and it just hasn’t worked out I hope that’s who ends his tile reign and takes his place at the top of the family tree as the OG head of the table!

[@ShogunEorling]

Rock had the timming completely wrong lol

[@DasMuse]

@3:46 what did the crowd yell to rocky that he responded to?

[@faithmapp2348]

[@yassinbenchekroun8368]

[@sid316saidijusthitanerve.9]

Absolutely love rocky but we don’t need rock vs Roman for the belt, the match itself would be sick, but Cody needs to win that title. Point blank period

[@blakemaxfield4267]

Roman should drop it to Cody at the rumble

[@FluffyKing43]

Why though I recon it’d be better if happened but Rock like cost Reigns the title or something and then the Rock and Reigns fight for the NO#1 contender ship for the Universal title then the rock and put Cody over at WM what better why to do it!?

[@matthewoberton1830]

The Rock continues to earn his moniker!!

[@BrianBarsuhn]

I wonder if he asked people to donate to the victims of the wildfires in Hawaii 😂😂😂

He donated 2 mill. Can you donate 2 dollars at least?? 🖕🤡

[@NickkaDUB]

@@brizzy2dope I put up $2,000. I’m sure it equates to a lot more than what he gave. Side with the rich though because you’re too blind to see we’re slaves.

[@FluffyKing43]

I recon he’ll face Reigns for the title at some point I’m honestly convinced the only reason he still has the title is because they haven’t been able to put a Rock vs Reigns match together yet! It could be as simple as Rocky coming back at the royal rumble winning it the match and then challenging Reigns for the undisputed title at WM40 that’s what I want to see happen personally then the rock can pass the torch to LA Knight!

[@jiadashraf]

we would love to see the rock vs john cena 2 🔥🔥🔥💯💯

[@giosamigos]

wow still wrestling through injury like that!

[@fernycastillo619]

Just goes to show the damage WWE's performers endure in these matches. The Rock is in great shape and yet his body began to break down and tell him he couldn't do it like he used to.

[@LionKat420]

imagine the rock just showing up at a royal rumble at the endish like 28 then someone they are tryna put over they could have him knock him out to potentially make a feud for a wrestlamania after this one with roman hes gonna do

I love The Rock. If he really had a full tore of his abdominal. If wouldn’t be walking and be in crazy pain. He finished the match with no sign of injury. All BS.

apparently, you have never heard of something called adrenaline and the fact he's in as great as shape he can be in. Doesn't make the story bs just saying.
