The Rock’s current heel persona is a fusion of his Hollywood charisma and the boldness of his late ’90s character, which has resonated deeply with fans. His revival of The Rock concert on SmackDown this week left audiences electrified, marking a significant moment. Regarding the segment running longer than anticipated, there seems to be some clarification available.

During the March 15 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Hollywood Rock made a triumphant return to the ring, thrilling the audience with his iconic theme music and expressing appreciation for Memphis, Tennessee. The Rock didn’t fail to take numerous shots at Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins and more.

According to Sean Ross Sapp behind Fightful’s paywall, it was reported that The Rock’s concert was originally planned for a single segment. However, it was noted that they were well aware it would extend beyond that initial plan.
