Bully added that aside from general ring rust, Rock’s biggest challenge could be getting swept up in the moment and overexerting himself. “Being in a wrestling school with four cold walls is completely different than being in front of 60,000-65,000 people,” Bully said. “You almost try to out-perform yourself, because you know what’s at stake — main event, Night One … when you haven’t done it for awhile and all of a sudden you gotta go from zero to 100, you can’t control it. You’re gonna get blown up.”

It’s not as if Rock has experienced zero in-ring action since his 11-year-old match with Cena. He has gotten physical in sporadic WWE appearances, most recently on the January 1 “WWE Raw” after interrupting Jinder Mahal. He was on the receiving end of some boots in the corner before delivering a spinebuster and his signature People’s Elbow.

Considering Rock’s upcoming WrestleMania appearance is a tag team match, it remains to be seen how much actual in-ring action he’ll see. Rock and Roman Reigns will face Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins on Night One of WrestleMania 40 on Saturday, April 6.
