He’ll be your hero. There has never been a wrestler who has become the kind of mainstream star that the Rock has become in the history of wrestling. Wrestlers like Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin have become mainstream names but the Rock is the biggest movie star in the world and has been for a good while now. He is one of the most charismatic actors in the world and can seemingly do no wrong in Hollywood. While he does not appear in wrestling so often anymore, he still has an influence on the business and chimes in from time to time.
WWE superstar Alexa Bliss was recently a guest on UpUpDownDown’s Superstar Savepoint and discussed her greatest fears. One of them was earthquakes, mentioning that California’s San Andreas fault line freaks her out. Bliss mentioned knowing that she has seen Rock’s movie San Andreas, about a massive earthquake taking place on the fault line and knowing that if such an earthquake took place, the Rock was not going to fly in on a helicopter to save her. That may seem like it makes sense, but it turns out that things may be a little easier than Bliss realizes.
Bliss does sound scared. Check out her talking about her fear:
The Rock responded to Bliss on Twitter, saying that Bliss had nothing to worry about as he would be there to save her. He also mentioned that it would not be the same thing for Woods, who would not be able to make it. This is not the first time that Rock has tweeted about wrestling in recent memory, as he also tweeted his praise for the recent debut episode of NWA Powerrr, saying that liked the show as it was similar to the way he got started in wrestling.
Not true, Lex. I’ll def fly in and save you ?.
Xavier on the other hand.. he ain’t gonna make it ??????— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) November 2, 2019
I mean, I can’t even be mad at it cause I’d give the same reply if the roles were switched ?

Bliss is a rather interesting interview. Check out her full appearance on the show:
Opinion: That’s the kind of thing that you can get on Twitter but not in many other places. It was a cool moment with the Rock interacting with some modern wrestlers in a fun way that isn’t going to lead to a storyline or doing anything more than providing a little moment. Bliss seemed scared of the earthquake and it was a perfect moment for Rock to chime in. Just the fact that he pays attention to something like this is a cool thing to see and not something that you would expect from someone of his stature. Just have some fun with something like that and let it be a nice time.
