Which Hollywood actress refused The Rock's offer to attend WWE WrestleMania 40 despite being gifted the tickets?

WrestleMania 40 will go down in history as one of the greatest live events in sports entertainment and The Rock's presence added grandeur to it. The Brahma Bull was a predominant part of the two-night extravaganza in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this year as he made his in-ring comeback after eight years.

Therefore, to make that moment even bigger, The Great One wanted a renowned Hollywood actress to grace The Showcase of The Immortals with her presence at the Lincoln Financial Field. The Rock gifted WrestleMania 40 tickets to British actress Emily Blunt, who is one of his close co-workers.

However, the 41-year-old actress did not attend the grand spectacle in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During her appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Emily Blunt revealed that she was quite elated at receiving the tickets and wanted to watch Dwayne Johnson perform live at WrestleMania 40.

Emily felt that it would have been quite a surreal moment for her to watch Johnson wrestle live, as she had never had that experience before. Blunt grew up watching The Rock on television and therefore, beholding the sight in person could have been too overwhelming for her.

Hence, the Hollywood actress preferred to sit on her couch and enjoy The Show of Shows at home rather than watch it live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. However, she was extremely gratified to receive the tickets for the mega event.

What the future has in store for The Great One remains to be seen.
