The Rock recently returned to WWE SmackDown and whooped Austin Theory’s candy ass.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was a recent guest on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. When asked about his recent WWE return, Johnson spoke about how it all came together after a phone call with Nick Khan.
“It was incredible,” The Rock said. “So here’s the crazy thing about that is: we were in Boulder. I was there for College Game Day, and I found out the night before that WWE SmackDown is going to be in Denver, which is right up the road.
“So I called my buddies at WWE, Nick Khan, and I said, ‘Hey, man, I heard Smackdown’s here. Can you confirm that?’ He said it is. I said, ‘Good. Well, The Rock is coming to SmackDown.’ And I went out there, and it was really an incredible thing. I’ve been really lucky over the years to entertain in a lot of different ways, but that kind of connection with the WWE audience — by the way, that kind of connection is just like this tonight with a live audience. There’s nothing like it.
The Rock says his WWE return was a “full-on secret”
“So my music hit: if ya smell, and I went out there. They had no idea, and you guys know how hard it is to keep a secret. It doesn’t exist. This was a full-on secret. The people went nuts; 13,000 people sounded like 130,000 people, and it was just incredible.
“So the WWE audience is my family, and I love them, and it was incredible. And by the way, I gotta say not only is that connection just like this incredible but there’s nothing like going to SmackDown and laying the smackdown on their candy asses all night long.”
