zelinavegawwe took her niece to the Moana premier and they got to connect with The Rock. ❤️🙌🏽 The Rock and Zelia friendship began backstage at a WWE tryout in New York. Vega (then Thea Trinidad) introduced herself and shared that her father, who passed away in the September 11 attacks, was a massive fan of The Rock. Touched by the story, he hugged her, looked up information about her father, and the two formed a lasting bond. The Rock personally cast her as AJ Lee in his 2019 film Fighting with My Family. You can hear more about from my Causal Conversation interview with Z from last year. #ZelinaVega #TheaTrinidad #TheRock #DwayneJohnson #Moana
