This week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown aired live from Memphis, TN and the show kicked off with an appearance from The Rock himself. The Great One made his way down to the ring which was clearly set up for one of his infamous Rock concerts. Dwayne was greeted with a positive reaction as most fans chanted “Rocky” with very few boos mixed in.
The Rock said usually he torches every city he’s in, but this city is different because he started his career in Memphis, TN. He hit his signature catchphrase and said finally he’s come back home. Then he asked the fans if they wanted to have some fun to a big reaction from the fans.
The Great One then said he was going to sign a song about what was going to happen to Seth Rollins & Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania. The Rock joked about beating Rhodes & Rollins with his fanny pack as the fans clapped along. He said there’s going to be so much drama that Cody Rhodes is going to have to cry to his mama.
The Rock said it keeps Cody awake to know he wasn’t planned, and he’s a mistake. He then called Seth Rollins the living embodiment of cringe before adding that Becky Lynch is more popular than Seth. Rock said he’s going to make Seth’s title disappear.
After that The Rock targeted the Cody Crybabies and told them “there’s some lines you just don’t cross, you all can kiss the a** of the final boss.” When he finished his songs the fans continued to chant “Rocky!”
The Rock showed the clip of Cody Rhodes slapping him last week on SmackDown and the fans booed. He showed a clip of Cody’s promo from Raw and brought up how Cody said he’s going to hand the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to his mom. Rock then addressed Cody’s mom and said that her son took something from him, so he’s going to make Cody’s family pay when he beats Cody at WrestleMania. He said Cody’s mom wants Cody to hand him a belt, but it’s not going to happen because the belt is staying around the waist of Roman Reigns.
Rock said Cody’s mom is going to get a belt then he pulled out a custom weight belt with his logo on it. Dwayne said after he’s done beating Cody with the belt he’s going to put it in the lap of Cody’s mom then whisper, “Michelle, what can I say except you’re welcome.” The fans responded with more “Rocky” chants. He finished up by saying “If ya smell what the final boss is cooking.”
