In July, WWE Hall of Famer (celebrity wing) Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania when Thomas Crooks shot at him, with the bullet grazing his ear. Unfortunately, one person was killed, and several others were critically injured in the attack.
Trump appeared on The Undertaker’s “Six Feet Under” podcast, where he discussed WWE’s success and wrestling’s influence on social media. When The Rock’s large online presence was mentioned, Trump revealed that, although he didn’t think the actor was a supporter of his, The Rock reportedly reached out to him after the shooting.
Here’s what the former US President said:
“You know he was great. I never thought he liked me. I felt badly because I think he’s a terrific guy. Then Dana White said, when I was shot to the ear. You may have heard about it.
Rock called Dana and said I want to have his number. What he did is sort of incredible. He considered it bravery. It was very nice actually, The Rock. You might mention that I said that.”

During an appearance at The Vault conference in September, The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson said the following about the assassination attempt on Trump:
“Trump, he used to come see me wrestle all the time at Madison Square Garden. It was great. The first time I saw him, he said, ‘Let me see the (People’s) Eyebrow’.
Whether you love Donald or you don’t love Donald, it doesn’t matter. They tried to assassinate him, there’s no room for that, and despite who we were in that moment, I believe in my core that is not who we are as a country.
So, him standing up in that moment, we wanted to see that.”
