In Philadelphia, The Rock caused a stir by mentioning Jalen Hurts’ playoff losses at a WWE event. This brought up the wound of the Eagles’ disastrous 2023 season. Despite making the playoffs in all three seasons of the Hurts era, the team has fallen short in the postseason, with heartbreaking losses to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021 and 2023, and a Super Bowl defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs in between.
The Rock deliberately poked fun at this vulnerability when he made his entrance in Philadelphia. He didn’t hold back in teasing Eagles fans about their recent playoff disappointments, which struck a nerve with the crowd at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Despite the controversy, The Rock was set to participate in Saturday’s events, teaming up with Roman Reigns to take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
On Sunday, The Rock was expected to make another appearance, with Reigns defending his Undisputed Universal heavyweight title against Rhodes. The Rock’s presence at the WWE event added extra excitement to the weekend’s festivities for wrestling fans in Philadelphia.
