The Rock’s return to WWE earlier this year proved to be a major success, but rumors swirled of backstage discontent over his extended screen time and special treatment. However, longtime WWE producer Shane Helms has refuted these claims, stating that The Rock’s status as a megastar justifies his privileged position. Helms emphasized that industry veterans like Dave Chappelle also receive special treatment due to their star power. Despite some wrestlers allegedly feeling displaced by The Rock, Helms believes they should focus on maximizing their own opportunities rather than begrudging The Rock’s success.
