In a recent WWE SmackDown event held in Memphis, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson stirred up the crowd with a performance that was both electrifying and contentious. Known for his charismatic presence and sharp wit, The Rock took the opportunity to engage the audience with a blend of humor and provocation.
The segment began with The Rock expressing his deep connection to Memphis, reminiscing about the early days of his wrestling career and his father’s legacy in the city. However, the atmosphere took a turn when The Rock launched into an original song aimed at his WrestleMania opponents, Cody Rhodes and Seth “Freakin” Rollins.
It was during this musical roast that The Rock dropped the name of NBA star Ja Morant, comparing Rollins to “Ja Morant when he’s waving a gun.” This reference to Morant’s recent gun-related incidents, including a suspension for flashing a gun on Instagram Live, elicited a mixed reaction from the crowd. Despite the initial boos, The Rock quickly followed up with a shoutout to Morant, expressing his love.
“Just like Ja Morant, when he’s waving a gun.”
