After this week’s RAW concluded, The Rock found himself in the spotlight again, not for his on-air antics, but for an off-air altercation with a WWE referee.
Observing the referee assisting Seth Rollins, The Great One approached silently, then swiftly struck him with his weight belt.
WWE shared footage of The Rock’s unexpected attack on social media, drawing attention to the incident.
Keep that head on a swivel boy and never turn back on The Rock with a belt in his hand. No one is safe.

“I did what I had to do in the moment. No regrets. Just know, I’m always ready to lay the smackdown, whether it’s in the ring or out.”

Despite winning the Men’s Royal Rumble match, Cody Rhodes voluntarily relinquished his spot in the WrestleMania XL main event upon The Rock’s return.
However, after a change of heart, he reclaimed his position and is now slated to contend for the top prize on Night 2 of the event.
In a candid interview on The MMA Hour, Rhodes shared his thoughts on The Great One’s WWE comeback:
“Even after stepping aside for The Rock, I held onto hope that I’d find my way back. I stayed silent, avoiding backstage politics, and trusted in fate. Ultimately, the overwhelming support from fans ensured my return.”
