Having a rivalry in the WWE is quite different from having a rivalry in Hollywood. Johnson has experienced both firsthand as the actor andFast & Furiousstar Vin Diesel had quite a feud. With Diesel wanting a traditional movie and Johnson wanting to create aFast & Furiousspin-off, The Rock revealed in an interview withEWthat people had to evolve.
“When you have a franchise that is as successful as the Fast & Furious franchise, the goal, certainly my goal, was always to try and create a scenario where we have as much longevity as we possibly can have.”
He further continued,
“And in that spirit, you have to evolve and you have to spin off and you have to create new characters and new stories, especially when you’re coming off Fast 8, where you have an eight at the end of your title. [Laughs.]”
