WWE star left starstruck by The Rock after blockbuster return before WrestleMania XL despite 'rubbing shoulders with some pretty heavy hitters'

The Rock calls himself the Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment for a reason. He left a WWE star, who has 'rubbed shoulders with some pretty heavy hitters' starstruck upon his return before WrestleMania XL.

In a recent appearance on The Gunz Show podcast, Corey Graves shared what it was like to be in the presence of The Final Boss backstage. He admitted to being in awe of The Great One, who is among the most famous people in the world, even though he doesn't get starstruck by celebrities he meets.

"Rock is like a real-life superhero. He is physically massive, his smile literally lights up a room from across. The Rock has presence and has charisma. I'm in this business for years and years and years, and I've rubbed shoulders with some pretty heavy hitters and pretty well-known celebrities briefly, and I never get starstruck. But to this day, even having had conversations with him since he's been back, I am starstruck by The Rock," Graves said. [13:15 - 13:46]

The Final Boss wreaked havoc on the Road to WrestleMania, making the lives of Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins miserable. He succeeded in beating Rhodes and Rollins on Night One of WrestleMania XL, but failed to help Roman Reigns retain his Undisputed WWE Championship on Night Two.
