The latest video from the “UpUpDownDown” YouTube channel features Alpha Academy, Bayley, LA Knight, Big E, and Tyler Breeze at the Royal Rumble Superstore:
Several recent news stories featured The Rock having interactions with young fans, one as part of a Make-A-Wish experience.
Oil City News recently posted an article on the WWE Superstar and TKO board member meeting 17 year-old Adelaide Bomberger of Cheyenne. Adelaide is fighting cancer and got to meet the great one as her wish, which happened in December and included a trip to Los Angeles and Universal Studios where she and her family had a trolley tour of the studio and a lunch buffet.
Adelaide told Make-A-Wish that she began working on building her strength so she could arm wrestle with The Rock, noting, “He’s so strong, so I of course had to prove my strength. It wasn’t just about the arm wrestle though; The Rock was also so involved in my wish. He even sent us his famous French Toast on the first morning of our trip and one more time when we got back home to Cheyenne.”
She added, “This wish has really instilled the idea of family in me and having my family be my power has helped me get through treatments. Family is more than who you’re related to by blood. It’s the people around you, at school, at the hospital, the Make-A-Wish family, and now The Rock. This was unforgettable and the best trip ever, plus I did take him down in an arm wrestle.”
Additionally, the Stamford Advocate is reporting that while visiting WWE Headquarters on the day he joined TKO’s Board of Directors, The Rock met with a Connecticut firefighter and his son who had stopped by the facility to see the giant WWE Championship title outside the building. Shane Smith said that he takes his son Blake by the building every Tuesday after Blake’s basketball practice, and the boy asked if they could go to the building and look through the windows.
As they were there, several SUVs arrived and The Rock was in one of them. Smith said “hi” and The Rock asked Blake if he could take his picture with him.
