On last night’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown, The Rock would make his explosive return to the WWE to confront Austin Theory.
In the segment, The Rock would verbally eviscerate Theory, leading a round of “you are an asshole” chants that lasted quite a while, leading to Pat McAfee remarking that the show is only two hours.
During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show prior to the September 15 episode of WWE SmackDown, The Rock detailed the injury he suffered at WrestleMania 29.
“Honestly, brother, it’s not the injury that I’m concerned about because that’s just part of it. It’s just part of the game. You sign up for it. You get hurt. We all get hurt. That’s just the way it is. It’s not even the schedule because I can control the schedule because I can control the schedule, to a large degree. Me going back to WWE and wrestling a match always comes down to the reason why, and what can we create that’s never been done before for the fans. So that’s the idea,”

The segment is already doing incredible numbers on YouTube, and many fans were delighted with the segment. We will have to wait and see if this continues to be the norm for big segments under Endeavor.
