The Rock's presence is believed to be a significant reason why WrestleMania 40 ended up being the biggest of its genre. He was back in action after a decade in front of many of his friends and family members on the show.

Among those friends and peers, The Rock's Jungle Cruise co-star Emily Blunt should have also been included but she was notably absent from the premium live event. This happened despite being generously gifted WrestleMania 40 tickets.

In an interview with Howard Stern on SiriusXM via Fightful, Blunt expressed gratitude for the gifts that she received from The Final Boss, including a ring, tequila, and sports gear presented by the film's producers at the conclusion of their film press tour.

However, despite receiving a WrestleMania 40 invitation from The Rock, the UK-based actress opted to watch the event from her home rather than attending the show, live. She also revealed how her brother was captivated by WWE and The Rock's matches.

"My brother was obsessed with WWE growing up. It is one of those surreal moments where I remember that as a kid, walking into our TV room and my brother is mainlining The Rock, and then I'm working with him years later. It's wild."

The Rock featured in the Biggest Tag Team Match in WWE history where he and Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in WrestleMania 40 Night One main event. He also got involved in the Reigns vs. Rhodes title match, the next night.

Now that the 'Mania season is over, The Great One is off to Hollywood again where he will be dealing with upcoming projects such as the A24 film Smashing Machine with Emily Blunt and the live-action adaptation of Moana.

But his stint with the WWE isn't over as he would be back when these filming get over to get himself involved in The Bloodline storyline. His next match is expected to be against Roman Reigns or Cody Rhodes at next year's WrestleMania.
