– The Rock has taken to Instagram to congratulate Thea Trinidad on signing with WWE. The Great One posted a picture of Trinidad, who worked as Rosita in TNA, holding her signed contract and praised her, saying, “When we met years ago, I always felt she had star potential but more importantly, I knew she was a good quality human being. When the opportunity came along, I cast her in a starring role in our @sevenbucksprod’s #FightingWithMyFamily. Her performance was brillIant. So much so, upon wrapping our movie, WWE saw that star potential and offered her a contract. Her relentless drive and resilience to ‘make it’ comes from a very powerful and emotional backstory with her father. They bonded by watching wrestling and she made a promise to him that one day she would make it in the WWE.”
