“They Get Nervous”: Dwayne the Rock Johnson Explains Why His Smackdown Promo With the Bloodline Was Blacked Out

A few hours before the start of tonight’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown, The Rock wanted to heat up the show with a message on social networks addressed to Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins before facing them in front of the WWE cameras.

As was the case last week, The Rock has carried out an extensive promo (10 minutes this time), where he responded to the comments made by Rhodes and Rollins on the latest episode of Monday Night Raw. And while addressing the two, he revealed the reason behind the blackouts during his SmackDown promo.

The Rock claims TV networks are nervous

Dressed in a cowboy hat, The Rock performed his promo from the Mesquite Rodeo Arena. The legend assured that tonight’s episode of SmackDown will be the biggest ever held at the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas. He further went on to rant against Rhodes and Rollins before calling out the TV networks. Johnson claimed that the “standards and practices” of TV channels censored part of his speech last week because they get nervous when he has a microphone in his hand because he drops ‘gospels’.

He said, “They get nervous now when The Rock has a live microphone in his hand and the whole world is watching. They get nervous when The Rock went to Phoenix. And The Rock dropped the Gospel. Phoenix, Arizona is the number one city in the country for cocaine and meth use. And The Rock called them all, you cactus-loving crackheads! And they booed but they cheered. They hated it but they loved it because The Rock said the truth. ” 

He further called himself “The sexiest man alive” and how every woman wants to go on a “one-on-one” with the Rock. But then he starts roasting them too as he says, “Settle down you crackhead Karens, and you methhead Marys! You are not ready for The Rock and you know it.’ They loved it, they hated it. They cheered, they booed. Standards and practices though, they pushed the button. They pushed the button because they wanna control The Rock. Just like they pushed the buttons like they wanna control the people. But you can’t control The Rock, you can’t control the people.” 

Well, the Rock wasn’t wrong about SmackDown being one of the biggest and best in Texas. After all, we got to see the segment between the Bloodline and Rhodes & Rollins spiral out of control. The Rock began talking about Cody Rhodes, his story, and his relatives.

He mentioned that Rhodes is the youngest of his siblings, specifically 20 years younger, and, according to ‘The People’s Champion’, it’s because Rhodes was a mistake. Rhodes responded with a slap to the Brahma Bull to end the show. Now who wouldn’t love a segment like that? WWE Universe sure did. What do you think? Are the TV networks actually censoring the Rock?
