The Rock sends a warning to World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins ahead of WrestleMania 40.
Rollins has taken multiple shots at The Rock in recent weeks. He has said that The Rock has been using the same material for 20 years, and he has said that the company does not need him. Meanwhile, Rollins has aligned with Cody Rhodes in his feud against Reigns and The Rock.
In a lengthy video The Rock posted on social media, he responded to Rollins.
"You don’t need The Rock, huh? ‘Rock, we don’t need you.’ You don’t need The Rock? If you were a little smarter, Seth, you’d realize how stupid you sound. Let The Rock drop some gospel on your goofy ass. You need The Rock in ways that you can’t even imagine. Here’s some gospel. You think when Ari Emanuel, The Rock’s good friend, The Rock’s business partner for decades, The Rock’s lead agent, someone who The Rock looks to like a big brother, you think when he goes to sit with Netflix, across from Ted Saranos, The Rock’ good buddy and business partner, sitting across from Bela Bajaria, The Rock’s good friend and business partner at Netflix, you think when they’re signing this $5 billion dollar deal for the WWE and Netflix, do you think that Ted and Bela, they’re saying, ‘Hey Ari, when WWE comes to Netflix, is Seth Rollins gonna be champion?’ Do you think that that’s what they’re asking? No, they’re not asking that. Number one, because they don’t care, and number two, they don’t one who in the hell you are. You know what they’re asking? ‘Hey Ari, we’ll sign this $5 billion historical deal, never before, but one question. Where’s ’The People’s Champion? Where is the man, The Rock himself? Where’s the man who has the most-watched film in the history of Netflix? The Rock, where’s he at in this whole thing? Ari looks at them and says, ‘He’s locked in for life. He’s locked in for life.’ Director of the board, owns everything as it relates to his name. He’s locked in for life.’ Signed, $5 billion," The Rock said.
The Rock continued by noting that his position pn the TKO Board, and his ownership of everything associated with The Rock, meant that he was Rollins' boss. He warned that if Rollins kept getting involved in his business, he would make sure that Seth's title went to someone else.
"So Seth Rollins, do you understand now how much you need The Rock? You understand now, right, boy? You keep running your mouth. ‘Find some new material, Rock.’ Find some new material? Is that right? Okay, well, The Rock has some material for you. How about this. Here’s some new material for you, Seth Rollins. The Rock sits at the top. Director, TKO board, not WWE, but TKO. Which means The Rock is the boss. Which means The Rock is your boss. Which means The Rock owns everything ‘The Rock’, everything associated with The Rock, owns it all. Which means The Rock is your boss, which means Seth Rollins, if you keep running your mouth and sticking your nose in The Bloodline’s business, then that world title you have around your waist, very soon, very soon The Rock will make the title go to somebody else. Read between the lines. Yes, The Rock just blurred it. Keep running your mouth, sticking your nose in The Bloodline’s business. This between The Rock, it is between Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes. That’s it. Stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. The Rock guaran-damn-tees you, and The Rock has built a career on doing everything he has said he’s going to do. The Rock guaran-damn-tees you, you stick your nose in our business, that world title that you have around your waist will go to somebody else. It will go to somebody else. There’s two things you can do about it, Seth. Nothing, and like it," he said.
The Rock concluded his message by reiterating his threat to Rollins, as he said that he and Reigns would beat him up. The Rock circled back to Rhodes and made it clear that he did not care about Cody's story, as he had taken something from him.
"You keep sticking your nose in our business, The Rock and Roman Reigns, are going to beat your goofy ass right back to the circus with the rest of the clowns. Cody Rhodes, for you, the Cody crybabies, for your new best friend, the walking clown emoji himself, Seth Rollins, and to your goofy ass dog, you all are advocates of Cody finishing his story. It’s so important. Cody Rhodes, you took something from The Rock. You insulted my family. You took something from The Rock, you took something from Roman Reigns, you took something from the millions and millions and millions of true real fans who wanted to see the biggest WrestleMania event of all time. You took it away. Now, you’re going to pay. Cody Rhodes, from the bottom of my heart, man to man, fuck your story," The Rock said.
During the video, The Rock also addressed Cody Rhodes. Check out his comments here.
The Rock is set to appear on the March 1 episode of WWE SmackDown. Fightful will have coverage of the show as it airs.
