Sunday night The Rock confirmed via Instagram that he would be a the Staples Center for Raw on Monday. The Rock has been busy working on a professional wrestling movie about Paige’s family called “Fighting With My Family” and he figured that the Staples Center was the perfect place to shoot some footage for the film.
The Rock confirmed that he would be shooting after Raw went off the air, but he also surprised fans by making an appearance before Raw even started.
The former WWE Champion appeared 15 minutes before the show went on the air and he cut a promo to hype up the live crowd. Rock took a shot at John Cena by saying that Cena is in “Fighting With My Family.” He then followed up by saying, “Just kidding, we want it to be a good movie.” Rock then joked that John Cena will be texting him for that comment.
After finishing his promo The Rock then went backstage and grabbed Vince McMahon who also appeared in front of the live crowd. You can check out a few videos of The Rock’s appearance below.
