The Rock Comments on His Current WWE Run – The Rock recently shared his thoughts on his current WWE run, which took an unexpected turn after fan support for Cody Rhodes prompted a change in direction. Initially brought back to confront Roman Reigns and assert his dominance, The Rock shifted gears and aligned himself with Reigns to strengthen the Bloodline.
Embracing his Hollywood Rock persona, The Rock has been delivering scathing insults on WWE SmackDown, notably targeting Phoenix, Arizona, for their meth and crack use.
In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live with Jimmy Kimmel, The Rock expressed his enthusiasm for his return to WWE in this “Rock 10.0” version, where he can embrace being a heel and say the things that resonate with people. He recounted his remarks in Phoenix, including jabs at the city’s population, which drew both cheers and jeers from the audience.
“It’s the best to go back to WWE in this ‘Rock 10.0’ version where I can become a heel and say the things that people want to say. I went in, ‘It’s the number one city, you cactus-loving crackheads.’ I also said, ‘every woman in here wants to go one-on-one with The Rock,’ and all the women go crazy. ‘Now settle down you crackhead Karens,’ and they all cheered again,” Rock said.
Looking ahead, The Rock is slated to team up with Roman Reigns to face Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins in the main event of night one of WrestleMania 40. Fans can catch him live on Friday’s WWE SmackDown in Memphis, where more fireworks are sure to ensue.
