"Both of them have, you know, they've got big personalities. Both of those guy would've done a great job. There was a time when ... WWE was at its height during a certain era, what we call now The Atttiude Era, when I was there, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, and guys like that. There was a time where we were actually recruiting both those guys to come in and have a big match, and we'd gotten very close with having a big match, bringing in Ray Lewis. And we were gonna have a big tag team match with myself, Ray Lewis, as tag team partners against whoever the top heels were at the time, probably Triple H, I think, and somebody else? And it was gonna be a big WrestleMania match but we could never ... it had nothing to do with the creative, just more-so scheduling, but we were very, very excited, so we came very close to that. But both those guys would've done great in the ring. And just really, really exceptional athletes."

The subject matter was raised when The Rock was discussing playing college football with Lewis and Warren Sapp:

The Rock revealed during a recent interview on the The Dan Patrick Show that Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens almost came to WWE to team with himself for a match at WrestleMania during the Attitude Era.
