Rob Gronkowski wants to work a match with The Rock
In a new interview with TMZ Sports, pro football star and the host of WrestleMania 36, Rob Gronkowski, sat down to talk about a potential return to wrestling.He then expressed his desire to step in the ring with The Rock as his opponent or tag-team partner.
‘Who would it be versus? I’m getting put on the spot. You know, it would be pretty cool to have The Rock come back and face The Rock or have him as my tag team partner. It would be cool to get a People’s Elbow but it would also be cool to have him on my squad.’
If he had the choice all to himself, Gronk explained that he would prefer to start out with a tag team run in WWE. He said:
‘It would definitely be a tag team match, no doubt about that. I just love the tag team aspect of everything, you know?’ Gronk said. ‘It’s my first time so I really wouldn’t want to be on my own doing a one-on-one match, I’ll be able to get help. And then grow into that role, maybe do a one-on-one match after a couple of tag teams. You know, my tag team partner can help me out with some moves and all that good stuff.’
Gronkowski had signed with WWE in March 2020 to a multi-event contract and was expected to work a match at SummerSlam in August. Due to the pandemic and Gronk returning to the world of professional football, the match never came together as originally planned. He was released from his contract at that time.
