“When we had the WrestleMania kickoff in Vegas last year, the show’s happening and I was there just to do some backstage reports and interviews and stuff and the shows like half over. My boss comes up to me and is like, ‘Hey, I think at the end you’re going to interview Hunter, you’re gonna interview Paul at the end of this when this is over. I think he’s gonna come out, do a quick interview just about how everything went.’ I’m like, okay. He’s kind of like, ‘Just put a bow on the event, get his thoughts.’ It was our first one, it was our first press kickoff event so to speak with the crowd and everything. I was like, okay, easy peasy, no big deal. I had no idea that The Rock was going to interrupt said interview, that legitimate did not know. I was literally just interviewing Hunter. Obviously things happened at the end of the press that I had to ask Hunter about, which I did. I knew I was doing all of that but I had no idea that would happen and I literally, if you watch the clip, everyone’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, Jackie sold that so good.’ I didn’t sell shit. I didn’t sell nothing. That’s me reacting in real time to The Rock dropping F bombs on our show and me being like, ‘What is going on right now?’ That was a true and genuine in the moment reaction. I don’t know if people will believe that, but that’s the truth," Redmond recalled while speaking to
