Below are a couple of top news stories of the day, featuring The Rock, WrestleMania 41, and AEW.
• “This Saved My Life” – WrestleMania 41 Winner To The Rock
On The Pat McAfee Show, The Rock talked about Jacob Fatu defeating LA Knight to win the United States Championship at WrestleMania 41.
Here’s what The Final Boss said about The Samoan Werewolf:
“What I love about Jacob is, you know, the last event I was there, went backstage, I gave him the biggest hug, man. And you know, he had tears in his eyes saying, ‘this saved my life.’
I think when you have that kind of performer who is pulling and digging into something and delivering his soul and passion to something that has saved his life, and you’re flying at a different level and fans could feel that and fans love that.
This is why the guy goes out there and he’s supposed to be the heel in the match and they’re cheering the hell out of him. They’re chanting his name. And that told me immediately, man, there’s a big future there with Jacob and I can’t wait.”
