NFL players have to be prepared for almost any type of question during the opening night of the Super Bowl, and San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was eager for a question about WWE.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson appeared on SmackDown on Friday and stared down Roman Reigns as the two appeared to get closer to a match at “WrestleMania 40” for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship.

Cody Rhodes, who won the Royal Rumble for the second year in a row, seemed to have put “finish the story” on hold and allowed The Rock to launch into his feud with Reigns.
Nothing is official. Rhodes has not announced who he will face at “WrestleMania.” It will be Reigns or world heavyweight champion Seth Rollins. Willing it or not has divided wrestling fans, and on “Monday Night Raw” it was revealed who fans want Rhodes to face.
Kittle was asked about the whole dilemma Monday night, just six days before Super Bowl LVIII.
THE ROCK SEEMS TO RESPOND TO THE CRITICISM OF ROMAN REIGS' NEXT FEED: 'HARD SKIN, I LOVE PASSION'

“We're off to a good start and I love it,” Kittle said. “That's the question I wanted to ask… So, it's funny. You see everything online and everyone's talking about 'We Want Cody' or Roman and The Rock… You know, I'm a big Cody Rhodes fan.” Like Roman Reigns. The Rock, hey, he coined the term “The People's Tight End,” so I'm indebted to The Rock. Big fan of him.
“Honestly, my dream would be like some kind of montage, I saw this online, Roman shows up signing the contract. Cody is on the other side, The Rock referees. Wouldn't that be fun and special? Let's make it fun and interesting. . No idea mine, but I thought it was really cool.”
Kittle appeared at “WrestleMania 39” in Inglewood, California. He interfered in Pat McAfee's match against The Miz. He hit The Miz with a big clothesline.
