“Please Be A D*ck” – Jackie Redmond Makes Shocking WWE Confession
Jackie Redmond loves being a part of WWE and would be open to superstars being more aggressive towards her.
As a WWE backstage interviewer and host of pre-PLE and post-PLE WWE shows, Jackie Redmond is known for having a smile on her face while doing her job to the best of her abilities.
The 38-year-old Canadian wrestling fan, Redmond, also works on NHL games as an interviewer, as well, so she’s a busy woman who enjoys what she does for a living.
Redmond has worked for WWE since 2022, mostly on the Raw brand, but she’s been on SmackDown, too. In her role as an interviewer, she is there to ask WWE superstars questions to continue storylines.
During her recent interview with Insight’s Chris Van Vliet, Jackie Redmond admitted she wouldn’t mind it if WWE superstars were meaner to her sometimes, but also noted it’s a different era of WWE, which is why it doesn’t happen too often.
“I do wish that superstars yelled at me more. I’m not gonna lie, that’s not really a thing that we do anymore, but I want them in my face. I want them to be mean to me.
I actually really want that, please be a d**k, be a jerk to me. But it’s a different time, maybe one day. No, I don’t want to be in the ring, but I wouldn’t be opposed to slapping someone or taking a bump.”
Jackie Redmond Was Shocked During The Rock And Triple H’s Heated Promo Exchange
A few months before WrestleMania 40 in 2024 in Philadelphia, there was a WWE press event featuring Roman Reigns, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, and others. It was done to set up some big matches for WrestleMania 40.
After an explosive segment that saw Rhodes slap The Rock, Triple H was interviewed backstage. Jackie Redmond recalled what that was like and how The Rock’s interruption shocked her.
“The jaw drop, the most natural crazy jaw drop of my entire life. The crazy thing about that situation was I didn’t even know I was interviewing Triple H until eight minutes before that. So we’re getting close to the end of this presser, and a producer comes up to me and is like, ‘Hey, we weren’t planning for this, but some sh*t is about to go down, and I think we need to hear from Hunter after this. We need him to give us something to kind of put a cap on everything that’s going on.’
So okay, that’s no problem. ‘So just pay attention. As soon as it’s done, he’s gonna come out of Gorilla, and he knows he’s gonna chat with you to get this instant live reaction from the craziness that just happened.’ So I find that out late, and I’m like, oh. I’m still only a year into this job, maybe.
So for me, Hunter is still a very intimidating presence. I’ve met him, I’ve talked to him. He’s lovely, but we’re not buds. I don’t know him that well. I’m like, Oh man, I’m interviewing Hunter, can’t blow this, this has to be good. And then I interview him, and I like, I should know better at this point that basically 99% of the time when I’m interviewing someone, it will be interrupted, that’s pretty much a staple of what I do.
But I had no idea that Dwayne The Rock mother f*cking Johnson was gonna come out, yell at Hunter and drop F bombs all on live television. People do not believe me to this day, that I did not know The Rock was gonna do that. I did not know, hand to God did not know that that was gonna happen. And so when it did, that was a very real reaction from me. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
I felt like I was teleported back to being 10 years old, it’s the Attitude Era and The Rock and Triple H are yelling at each other. What is going on? It was a very surreal, surreal moment for me. I don’t say that a lot, like that was one where I was like is this my life right now?”
That story from Jackie Redmond is an example of how life in WWE may be scripted a lot, but there are still situations and moments where anything can happen.
