WWE has dismissed a report that claimed The Rock was late for his WrestleMania showing.
‘The Great One’, real name Dwayne Johnson, enjoyed a four-month-long run in the company at the start of this year after returning in January to play a part in the WWE Championship story.
Returning as a heel, he aligned with real-life cousin Roman Reigns to take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the main event of night one of WrestleMania, emerging victorious to set up the main event of night two.
That match saw Rhodes defeat Reigns for his WWE Title, before The Rock revealed he would be leaving WWE again to continue his career in Hollywood.
Reports surfaced on Tuesday suggesting that Johnson was three hours late for the match on night one of the event, but WWE have now responded, with the actor also facing a number of other allegations.

He faces allegations that he urinated in bottles on set, making crew members ‘uncomfortable’
It has also been claimed that Johnson would often urinate in water bottles to save time and ask his PA or team to dispose of it, which crew members were ‘upset’ with.
Another claim was that the actor would also miss entire days of filming, causing the dramatic increase to the budget.
It is suggested in the report that Johnson has had a lack of professionalism, while it was also claimed that he has on occasion left over 100 crew members waiting ‘for no reason’.
‘It was a f***ing disaster,’ one insider told The Wrap, while another said: ‘Dwayne truly doesn’t give a f***.’
A spokesperson for Amazon MGM – who are the film studio behind the film – responded with a firm denial to the allegations in the report.
