The Rock’s segment on tonight’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown from the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee emerged as the talk of the town to no one’s surprise. The legend wrote a new chapter in his rivalry with Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins by conducting a full segment dedicated to his rivals at WrestleMania XL.

However, one surprising thing did take place during the broadcast of the Friday night show. As has been the case with all segments featuring the Rock, the doomed blackout occurred during the Rock’s promo. The reason? Well, it was something very non-PG.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson burst out his singing chops once again for a “Rock Concert” in Memphis tonight on SmackDown. And during the segment, SmackDown suffered a blackout for all the viewers on television. The reason? A woman apparently flashed the camera during the segment. And as we all know, the WWE is very strict toward such gestures, so they decided to black out the screening on television.

Well, this has been the case for several of the Rock’s promos these days. Either it’s a blackout or some non-PG words are muted out. But there’s still no stopping the Brahma Bull, who is adamant about being the best heel possible. And his promo tonight proved the same.

Tonight, the Rock verbally annihilated his WrestleMania 40 opponents Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. In tonight’s segment, the Rock had a concert in the ring and started singing about his rivals. He called out Rhodes, Rollins, and their fans in the lyrics of his song. And once the concert was over, The Rock recalled the events of the last week, from the slap he received from The American Nightmare to the latter’s interview on Monday Night Raw, where he got emotional by promising to bring the WWE Universal Championship to his mother.

The Rock mocked his tears, assuring him that he would never achieve his purpose. Johnson then turned to Michelle Rubio, promising her that her son and Rollins would pay for it on Night 1 of WrestleMania. After that, Night 2 will arrive, where the rules of Bloodline will make anything go. Johnson assured that the Universal Championship would remain in the hands of his cousin, Roman Reigns. But that won’t stop Michelle from receiving a belt.

The Rock revealed a custom belt, promising that it would end up covered in his son’s blood. Once the fight is over, Johnson hopes to find her in the front row, where he can hand her that belt. And, as she cries, he will lean close to her ear to whisper, “Michelle, what can I say except for nothing?” “If ya smell what The Final Boss is cooking,” The Rock whispered to end the segment.
