WrestleMania XL in Philadelphia was a moment of excitement and controversy for both wrestling fans and the local sports community. The Rock, known for his charm and wit, caused a stir when he made a comment about Jalen Hurts’ playoff losses during his entrance in the city.
The Eagles lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Wild Card round, marking another disappointing end to their playoff run. Despite making the playoffs in all three seasons of the Hurts era, they have fallen short in the postseason. The Rock’s comment was particularly hurtful for Eagles fans, who have been through heartbreaking losses to the Bucs in 2021 and 2023, as well as a Super Bowl defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs in between.
Despite the controversy, The Rock was set to participate in Saturday’s events at WrestleMania XL, teaming up with Roman Reigns to take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. The Rock’s presence at the WWE event added extra excitement to the weekend’s festivities for wrestling fans in Philadelphia.
On Sunday, The Rock was expected to make another appearance at WrestleMania XL, with Reigns defending his Undisputed Universal heavyweight title against Rhodes. As always, The Rock brought his charm and wit with him, reminding everyone that even though their season ended on a sour note, there is always next year for the Eagles.
