WWE Star Recalls Shock Of Being Part Of The Rock’s Unscripted Promo

This well-known WWE name revealed that she had a natural “jaw-drop” moment at WrestleMania 40.

Backstage interviews in wrestling almost always involve the interview/promo being interrupted by another star to further whatever feud the interviewee wrestler is talking about, or for a star to begin a new feud with said wrestler.

One such incident took place at WrestleMania 40. WWE backstage announcer Jackie Redmond began interviewing WWE CCO Triple H, and a few moments into the interview, The Rock appeared and began to “drop F bombs” and “yell” at Triple H.

Seeing the Rock interrupt her interview with The Game and hearing what he said, Jackie Redmond’s shock is visible from her jaw-drop expression, which was caught on camera.

WWE’s Jackie Redmond Reveals She Had No Idea She Was Going To Interview Triple H

Redmond was the guest in a recent episode of Chris Van Vliet’s Insight podcast. When asked by Van Vliet about the Triple H interview at WWE WrestleMania 40, Redmond reveals that she had no idea she was going to interview Triple H until eight minutes before it actually happened.

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.

Before she could get over the fact that she had a big task at hand of interviewing WWE’s CCO, The Rock showed up to interrupt the interview and began yelling at Triple H, causing Redmond to be visibly shocked and in awe of both her favourite childhood heroes going at it in front of her eyes making it a surreal experience for her, she admits.

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?”
