The Rock spoke to the crowd after his shocking appearance on WWE SmackDown.
At the end of the February 2 episode of WWE SmackDown, Cody Rhodes revealed that he would not be facing Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, as he brought out The Rock. "The Great One" then stared Reigns down as the show concluded.
In a WWE SmackDown Exclusive, The Rock and Roman Reigns continued to stare each other down. Reigns left the ring and walked to the back. The Rock then grabbed a microphone and addressed the crowd.
"Well, it’s become very clear and evident to The Rock that when you want to create something iconic, and when you want to create something magical, you come to the Magic City. This is a city deep in history, and ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I’m happy to tell you that tonight, all of us, tonight we made history here in Birmingham, Alabama. Birmingham, I thank you. I love you. If you smell what The Rock is cooking," The Rock said.
