The Rock: It's The Best To Be 'Rock 10.0' And Say Things That People Want To Say

The Rock is having fun.

The Rock's return to WWE quickly changed directions as he was initially brought back to confront Roman Reigns and sit at the head of the table. However, fan support for Cody Rhodes caused Rock to shift course, and he aligned with Reigns to make the Bloodline stronger.

Rock has gone back to his Hollywood Rock persona, letting the insults fly on WWE SmackDown, particularly in Arizona, where he called out Phoenix for their meth and crack use.

"It's the best to go back to WWE in this 'Rock 10.0' version where I can become a heel and say the things that people want to say. I went in, 'It's the number one city, you cactus-loving crackheads.' I also said, 'every woman in here wants to go one-on-one with The Rock,' and all the women go crazy. 'Now settle down you crackhead Karens,' and they all cheered again," Rock said on Jimmy Kimmel Live with Jimmy Kimmel.

Rock is set to team with Roman Reigns to take on Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins in the main event of night one of WrestleMania 40.

The Rock will be live on Friday's WWE SmackDown in Memphis.
