What’s next?

The Rock is presently busy with his Hollywood obligations.

However, he continues to make sporadic appearances both on-screen as well as in the role of an ambassador for WWE.

Author’s take

The Rock truly is one of the most entertaining people to have ever walked the face of God’s green earth.

The Brahma Bull’s spontaneity and wittiness never cease to amaze, and here’s hoping Katie Kelzenberg—a self-proclaimed super-fan of The Rock—has fun at the Rampage screening.
