Female ex-WWE star who had non-PG segment with The Rock 9 years ago opens up about working with him

The Rock once had a non-PG segment nine years ago on an episode of RAW in Miami, Florida. The female ex-WWE star involved in the backstage angle has opened up about what it was like to work with Dwayne Johnson.

After losing the WWE Championship to John Cena at WrestleMania 29, Rocky only made a handful of appearances for the company for the rest of the 2010s. One of those appearances was on the January 25, 2016, edition of RAW. He interacted with The Miz, Big Show, Lana, and Rusev.

Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Lana discussed what it was like working with The Rock. She had nothing but wonderful things to say about him despite what he insinuated on television regarding an alleged encounter in a hotel room.

"I love him. He's so great at what he does. And he's always been just so nice and kind every time I've ever met him or worked with him. And I just think that's truly amazing, you know, to be at that level of fame and success and still take a moment to talk to someone and be a real human," Lana said.

Lana and Rusev previously worked with The Rock in a segment. The Great One confronted the heel pairing on the October 6, 2014, episode of RAW for saying bad things about the United States.

The Rock hasn't appeared in WWE since Elimination Chamber: Toronto

After a surprise appearance on SmackDown in September 2023, The Rock planted the seeds of a feud with Roman Reigns. He later became The Final Boss and started feuding with Cody Rhodes heading into WrestleMania 40.

Just when it seemed the character was done, Rocky returned earlier this year and gave Rhodes an ultimatum. It culminated at Elimination Chamber: Toronto with the shocking heel turn of John Cena, who beat up and bloodied The American Nightmare.

However, The Final Boss hasn't appeared on WWE television since that night, which didn't help the buildup to WrestleMania 41 and the bad reception to Cena's entire heel run. He then became busy with the promotion of The Smashing Machine and the filming of Moana live action.
