The drama of WrestleMania 40 didn’t end when the final bell rang, folks! WWE fans eagerly awaiting the juicy behind-the-scenes documentary “WWE WrestleMania XL: Behind the Curtain” are still left hanging nearly two months later. What’s the holdup? And does Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson have his fingerprints all over this delay? Not so fast, says creative partner Brian Gewirtz.
In the latest edition of the “Wrestling Observer Newsletter,” the ever-reliable Dave Meltzer dives into the murky waters of this mysterious delay. While Meltzer couldn’t pin down an exact release date, he teased that there’s a hush-hush reason only a select few are privy to. Adding fuel to the speculative fire, Meltzer backed Gewirtz’s claim that The Rock isn’t the roadblock here. So, Rock’s fans can breathe a sigh of relief—no eyebrow-raising delays on his account!
The real snag? It seems the tangled web of WrestleMania 40’s backstage narrative might be too knotted for a smooth unraveling. Rumors swirl around the contradictory tales involving The Rock, Cody Rhodes, and Roman Reigns. With whispers of original plans for a Rock-Reigns showdown and Rhodes, fresh off his second Royal Rumble victory, stepping aside for The Rock, the storyline reads like a soap opera script gone rogue.
Expect the documentary to shine a light on WrestleMania’s original game plan and WWE’s last-minute pivot. However, don’t hold your breath for a deep dive into the intricate timeline of Rock-Reigns planning or when Rhodes got the memo. Meltzer suspects these details will be swept under the ring. And as for the creative clashes between The Rock, WWE’s chief content officer Triple H, and Reigns? They’ll likely be touched on with a feather, not a sledgehammer.
So, keep those popcorn buckets handy, folks. The “WWE WrestleMania XL: Behind the Curtain” documentary promises to be a wild ride—whenever it finally hits the screen!
