This week’s sold-out SmackDown from Memphis opened with The Rock. The fans were caught off guard when they witnessed the return of The Great One’s Hollywood theme song, which was hybridized with guitar riff in the middle. However, what he came for on the show was Cody Rhodes‘ mother, Michelle Rubio. Rock said she doesn’t know him, but she’s going to know The Brahma Bull in ways she doesn’t want.

The Jumanji actor brought out a weight belt of his own and told Michelle that he’s going to tear her son apart. Johnson further said that when both he and his cousin Roman Reigns are done whooping Rhodes at WrestleMania, he’s going to hand over that belt to Mama Rhodes.

It would be draped with Cody’s blood as Rubio would be left with no choice but to accept with her tears falling down, said The People’s Champ. The 51-year-old then iterated that he’d be whispering, “What can I say except you’re welcome?” in Rubio’s ears.

Mama Rhodes, you don't know the Rock, but you're going to know The Rock in ways you don't want. Your son Cody took something from me. I'm going to make him pay, I'm going to make your family pay, and I'm going to make you pay.

And that’s how The Final Boss was finally done. Now it gets even more interesting. Dwayne Johnson has decided to target Cody Rhodes‘ mom. He has even invited her to be in the front row at WrestleMania 40 so that he can render the misery to her son in front of her naked eyes.

The Rock mentioned Ja Morant’s flashing-gun incident on SmackDown

Before The Rock started berating Cody Rhodes’ mother, he had a lot to say. As he settled down for “The Rock concert,” he aimed a dig at Ja Morant‘s notorious gun-flashing incident as he compared Seth Rollins to the G12.

Rollins, whom Rock calls a walking clown emoji, was on the receiving end when the Black Adam star said he’s an embarrassment, just like Ja Morant when he’s waving a gun. That was masterful. Even a picture of Morant flashed on the jumbotron as Dwayne Johnson couldn’t resist chuckling.

The fact that the Attitude Era icon did it in Ja Morant’s own hunting ground, the FedEx Forum in Memphis, was a nice touch. The 24-year-old Point Guard has been in deep waters since last year. After serving a 25-match ban, he returned to the basketball court on December 19. However, the injury bug stung him.
