The Brahma Bull recently did an interview with Variety where he talked about where he learned his lesson of empathy from. He revealed that he's lost 15 people in the past two decades to suicide and addiction and stated that his recent movie The Smashing Machine was an homage to such men and women who lost their lives.

"I did the math a couple of weeks ago , over the past two decades I've lost exactly 15 friends to addiction and suicide who just couldn't handle the pressure. 15 and in a way this Smashing Machine was a love letter to the men and women who struggled, who have made it on the other side and who didn't make it on the other side." He said.

The Rock has been away from WWE programming since Elimination Chamber in Toronto

The Rock played a major role in the culmination of last year's WrestleMania. This led to a lot of fans believing that the Brahma Bull will be heavily involved in this year's show as well. The speculations started to feel true when the Final Boss made his return on SmackDown and asked Cody to give him his soul.
