Speaking about his much-awaited return to WWE, The Rock said, “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. 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, to a large degree. Me going back to WWE and wrestling a match, it 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.”
Coming to his SmackDown appearance, the Brahma Bull had a verbal clash with Austin Theory, eventually making the latter taste the people’s elbow.
