Jackie Redmond Addresses Rumors She Staged Her Shocked Reaction To The Rock

Advertisement WWE broadcaster Jackie Redmond is setting the record straight over allegations that she acted along with The Rock's explosive backstage confrontation with Triple H at the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff. Despite the event taking place in early 2024, Redmond revealed she still faces skepticism from fans who believe her shocked reaction was scripted. Eavesdropping On A Unscripted Moment Speaking on Inside The Truck on September 8, 2026, Redmond recalled how WWE production instructed her mid-event to secure a post-show interview with Triple H without revealing how the press conference would wrap up. 'They said, 'Hey, when this press event is over,' and they told me this halfway through, they said, 'We want you to go interview Paul, Paul Levesque, aka Triple H, and just ask him about the way that this press conference ends,' which I didn't know how it was going to end at that time,' Redmond explained. Redmond prefers being kept in the dark to ensure her reactions remain genuine on camera: 'I don't always know everything because I don't want to know everything that's going to happen because then I don't have to act if I don't actually know.' Profanity Created Genuine Confusion When The Rock interrupted the interview and began swearing aggressively at Triple H following the press conference altercation involving Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, Redmond admitted she genuinely questioned if the situation was real. 'I'm backstage and I'm interviewing Triple H and The Rock comes by, interrupts the interview, starts swearing at Triple H. And, like, you can see it in the clip, my jaw is on the floor,' Redmond said. 'I'm like, 'We're on Netflix. I'm not sure if we're even supposed to swear.' I'm like, 'He just swore. Like, is this fake? Is this real?' Like, I truly in that moment did not know that that was going to happen.' The severity of the exchange led her to wonder if a legitimate physical fight was about to break out between the two executives: 'When The Rock swore, like, that to me was like, 'Oh, like, is he actually mad right now? Like, is something happening here?'… I truly, like, hand to God, did not know that The Rock was going to do that.'
