The Rock Broke Major WWE Protocol at WrestleMania, Forcing Then to Mute

At WrestleMania 40, The Rock, also known as Dwayne Johnson, made waves, but not just for his wrestling prowess. In a moment that blurred the lines between the scripted drama of WWE and unscripted reality, The Rock’s potty mouth led WWE to hit the mute button during the live coverage, sparking a flurry of amusement and disbelief among viewers.

Imagine this: The Rock, the self-proclaimed ‘Final Boss’ of wrestling, was back in the ring, teaming up with Roman Reigns against Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes in a tag team match that had fans on the edge of their seats. The stakes were high, the crowd was pumped, and The Rock was in full villain mode, relishing the chaos and commanding every eye in the arena.

But then, in a twist that even the best WWE scriptwriters couldn’t have penned, The Rock got a little too candid with the referee. In a heated moment, he dropped a couple of F-bombs, seemingly forgetting that WrestleMania is a family-friendly show. The WWE crew scrambled to hit the mute button, but alas, they were a beat too slow, and The Rock’s colorful language went out live, uncensored.


Social media erupted with reactions. Some fans found it hilarious that WWE’s attempt to sanitize The Rock’s outburst was a tad delayed, while others were just thrilled to see The Rock unfiltered, bringing a raw edge to the polished spectacle of WrestleMania.

This incident was more than just a fleeting WrestleMania moment; it underscored The Rock’s ability to stir the pot and command attention, whether through his actions in the ring or his words. His on-air slip-up became the talk of the night, overshadowing the match’s outcome and even sparking speculation about future showdowns, particularly between The Rock and Cody Rhodes.

But let’s not forget, this is The Rock we’re talking about – a man who’s as much a showman as he is a wrestler. His on-air faux pas may have broken a WWE protocol, but it also added an unexpected layer of excitement to WrestleMania 40, reminding fans why they love the unpredictability and sheer entertainment value of wrestling.

As the dust settles on WrestleMania 40, one thing is clear: The Rock still knows how to make waves, whether through his moves in the ring or his words. And as for WWE, they might just need to keep that mute button a little closer at hand next time The Rock takes the stage.

In defense to The Rock, he did say in the last couple of weeks, he is not going to follow WWE protocol and say whatever the hell he wants. lol I mean seriously, they can't fire or sanction him. lol

TKO CEO Ari Emanuel could I guess but they are very good friends for many years lol so I don't see that happening.

I thought it was all funny because the ref did nothing after that when The Rock did something wrong. lol Even the announcers did not know what to say. lol

Also, this is all coming after that night The Rock was whipping the hell out of everyone in the ring, he even whipped the ref, who quickly left the ring and looked shocked. lol
