Appearing on Counted Out with Mike & Tyler, WWE SmackDown producer TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd) was asked when he knew Rock would be part of the show.

"I found out kind of when everyone else did, when it was announced on Twitter. Everything The Rock touches, especially when it comes to wrestling, it becomes exciting and very unpredictable. You don't know what he's going to say, let alone what he's going to do on TV," said Wilson.

The Rock asked Cody Rhodes to be "his champion" on WWE SmackDown, saying he wants Cody's soul.

The Rock is set to appear at WWE Elimination Chamber. Fans can check out the lineup for the show by clicking here.
