AEW's Dasha Gonzalez has become the latest wrestler to join Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's Titan Games. She was announced for the second season of the NBC series. In an interview with Wrestling Inc, Gonzalez talked about her time on the show, which is set to air soon, and her previous awkward meeting with The Rock while working for WWE, before they met up again during her time on Titan Games.
Dasha Gonzalez on her awkward meeting with The Rock
Gonzalez talked about her meeting with The Rock when she was a part of WWE. At the time, she was still a backstage interviewer.
Walking backstage, Gonzalez first met The Rock when the Hollywood superstar was talking to Roman Reigns before that night's WWE show. Gonzalez was naturally feeling shy at meeting The Rock and just ran away after greeting him with a quick "hi." At the time, she did not get to meet with him. However, with her time on Titan Games that has changed, and she and The Rock were able to have a lengthy meeting where he encouraged her.
"I had met The Rock one time talking to Roman Reigns on a case backstage before TV one day. I was like, 'Hi, I'm Dasha.' I very awkwardly said hi and ran away. I didn't really get to meet him. It was pretty cool to be able to chat with him and receive encouragement from him."
Dasha Gonzalez in AEW since leaving WWE
Gonzalez is a former member of the WWE staff and is currently an announcer for AEW. She became known during her time with WWE as a ring announcer, and then a backstage interviewer, under the name Dasha Fuentes. Since then, Gonzalez was recruited by AEW, who signed her on as a Spanish commentator for AEW Dark. Since then, she has also acted as a ring announcer in place of Justin Roberts and as a co-host with Tony Schiavone. Given Gonzalez's five years' experience with WWE, it may not be too widely known that she originally wanted to be an in-ring performer.
She has started exploring this side of her character outside AEW and has competed in a match against Renee Michelle, who is also known for her marriage to WWE's Drake Maverick.
