In recent times, The Rock has faced criticism for his promos and segments, which, while immensely entertaining, have veered away from WWE’s PG policies. Reports suggest even the locker room is unsettled by the perceived favoritism towards The Brahma Bull. But what does The Rock have to say about it all?
Known for his candidness, The Rock hasn’t shied away from using non-PG language in the past. Judging by his latest Instagram post, this trend is likely to continue.
The People’s Champ shared an unseen angle of his recent altercation with Cody Rhodes on Monday Night RAW, where he vocally opposed a WWE producer’s attempt to intervene.
In the caption, The Rock expressed his disdain for being dictated to, a sentiment he extends to individuals, corporations, and governments alike.
“This is a microcosm of a larger issue I have with individuals, corporations & governments – telling us what we can or can’t do. You have to do it this way, you have to say it that way, or you’ll get canceled. They create fear if you have a different perspective and don’t live by their rules. It’s their way or no way,” wrote The Rock.
Asserting his autonomy, The Rock made it clear that he will continue to express himself freely.
“I say it the way I want to say it. I do it the way I want to do it,”
he declared.
With WrestleMania 40 on the horizon, all eyes are on The Rock. His every move ignites excitement within the WWE Universe, suggesting that change is unlikely as long as he remains in the spotlight.
