The Rock’s current heel character is a mix of his Hollywood as well as late 90s persona and fans simply can’t get enough of it. He brought back The Rock concert for SmackDown this week and unsurprisingly, the segment drew insane viewership on YouTube.

The March 15 episode of Friday Night SmackDown was truly electrifying as Hollywood Rock made a memorable return to the ring. With his iconic theme music resonating throughout the arena, the Great One captivated the audience with heartfelt sentiments about Memphis, Tennessee.

The Rock took multiple shots at Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. In a bold move, he even involved Rhodes’ mother, with Stardust’s image prominently featured on stage.

Continuing his momentum, The Great One didn’t pull any punches as he targeted the “Cody Crybabies,” delivering scathing insults that were heard worldwide. After the concert, he shifted his focus to Rhodes’ recent actions, mocking his slap and ridiculing his interview with Michael Cole on RAW.

If one checks WWE’s YouTube channel, one will find that The Rock concert has currently earned a viewership of 1,022,638 views in 12 hours, which is nothing short of amazing, but is expected from The Great One.

We will have to wait and see how WWE will continue to book The Rock as we head towards WrestleMania 40, since fans feel the feud is more about The Rock and Cody Rhodes instead of Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes.
