The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson is set to undergo an MRI after sustaining an elbow injury on the set of his latest film, “The Smashing Machine,” which chronicles the life of MMA legend Mark Kerr. In a video shared by The Rock, he detailed the incident, expressing concern about potential soft tissue damage.
“I got banged up pretty good today in our scenes,” The Rock stated, showing visible discomfort. He described the sensation as having a cantaloupe lodged at the bottom of his elbow, indicative of significant swelling. Despite the injury, he remained in high spirits, noting that “the pain feels pretty good.”
Reflecting on past injuries, The Rock mentioned his preference for using anti-inflammatories to manage pain. Humorously, he highlighted his own Teremana tequila as the most effective remedy. Despite the current pain, he indicated it wasn’t severe enough to keep him away from the gym, where he planned to continue his rigorous fitness routine.
Here’s what The Final Boss said:
“Since you guys know, I am filming a movie called The Smashing Machine and anytime your film is called The Smashing Machine, well you are gonna get smashed up.
(Shows his elbow) Look at that sucker right there, it’s like having a cataloupe up my elbow. I got banged up pretty good today, you know scenes and there might be some soft tissue damage, that’s a lot of fluid, we’ll see, I got to get it out of there first before I got any kind of MRI.”
This isn’t the first time The Rock has dealt with injuries, given his extensive career in both wrestling and acting. His resilience and dedication to fitness remain unwavering, even in the face of physical setbacks.
The Rock made a triumphant return to the wrestling ring at WrestleMania 40 earlier this year. Speculation is rife that he will make another appearance at WrestleMania next year in Las Vegas, with fans eagerly anticipating a possible showdown against either Roman Reigns or WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
As The Rock awaits further medical evaluation, fans are sending their best wishes for a speedy recovery, eager to see him back in action both on screen and in the ring.
