The Rock lets the F-bombs fly.
The Rock addressed the crowd at NXT New Year's Evil on January 7th. The television broadcast of his promo was often interrupted, as he was censored due to repeated F-bombs.
After NXT went off the air, The CW Network posted the uncensored version of The Rock's promo on YouTube.
When the fans chanted "Rocky", the former WWE Champion replied, "Don’t fuck around and get me emotional up in this thing [laughs]."
Later on, The Rock addressed the criticism of the way that he was nice to Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere. He told everyone to enjoy the ride, as he was thinking 20 steps ahead.
“What did they say? ‘You can’t be nice to Cody. Don’t be nice to Cody. Don’t drink tequila with Cody.’ Oh, fuck. At the end of the day, let us all remind them that The Rock is the Final Boss, thinking 20 steps ahead, so the best thing for them to do is to know their role, shut their mouth, and enjoy the ride that The Rock is taking them on," The Rock said.
Throughout his promo, The Rock noted that he was short on time. Near the end, he noted that he only had two minutes left, and he joked that he was going all night. After noting that "they" were sweating, he then apologized for his language.
“It says we got about two minutes left. They say we got two minutes, I’m like, fuck all that. We’re gonna go all night [laughs]. Oh, they’re sweating. It’s okay, it’s okay. Alright, I’m sorry for the language, I apologize," The Rock said.
Finally, The Rock highlighted how he was once a young talent in developmental, and he was named Flex Kavana. He made fun of the name and reiterated that he knew what it was like to be in a position where you depended on the crowd.
"I have been down this road. I wrestled in Memphis as Flex Kavana. I know, most fucked up professional wrestling name of all time. I know what it’s like, but I know what it’s like to depend on the crowd," The Rock said.
