The September 15th 2023 edition of WWE Smackdown opened with a surprise appearance by Pat McAfee. McAfee started to cut a promo that was quickly interrupted by Austin Theory. McAfee said Theory has been disrespectful to the people and since Smackdown was the people’s show, he brought out The Rock.

Rock and Theory had a verbal confrontation. Rock had the fans chant “you are an asshole” at Theory which was censored by FOX. Rock said he was going to kick Theory’s ass so Theory took the first shot but Rock quickly gained the upper hand. Rock gave Theory a People’s Elbow and then McAfee delivered a People’s Elbow as well.

Here is video footage from The Rock’s appearance…

The Rock also reunited with John Cena in a backstage segment…
