The Rock burst onto the Friday Night SmackDown scene with a distinct mission – to completely dismantle Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. During his extensive promo on the show, new footage has surfaced, showing a cameraman prompting The Rock to wrap up his speech promptly.
In the latest SmackDown episode, a highly anticipated confrontation unfolded among The Rock, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Seth Rollins – their first encounter since the WrestleMania 40 kick-off press event in Las Vegas. Following weeks of verbal sparring on WWE programming and social media, the monumental face-off finally took place.
The atmosphere was electric as Cody and Seth navigated through the WWE Universe to the ring, where Rock and Roman awaited. Cody Rhodes addressed the situation, but The Rock interjected, reflecting on the challenge’s stipulations. Seth Rollins chimed in, asserting that The Rock’s prime had passed and accepting the WrestleMania Night 1 match.
Unperturbed, The People’s Champion asserted his authority and launched personal attacks at Cody, labeling him a family mistake due to a 20-year age gap among Rhodes’ siblings. Rhodes responded by slapping The Rock as SmackDown concluded.
Footage circulating online revealed the camera crew urgently advising The Rock to conclude his promo swiftly and avoid going over time, as was the case last week.
