Amidst the fervor leading up to WrestleMania 40, The Rock’s return to SmackDown sparked a flurry of excitement and controversy. Known for his razor-sharp wit and unapologetic taunts, The Great One spared no one in his verbal assault, particularly targeting his WrestleMania opponents, Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
The March 15 episode of SmackDown witnessed The Rock’s iconic concert segment, where he delivered scathing insults aimed at Rhodes and Rollins. From mocking Rhodes’ previous gimmick as Stardust to ridiculing Rollins’ recent actions, The Rock’s performance was a spectacle to behold.
Singing about Seth Rollins, he quipped, “you’re simply an embarrassment son, just like Ja Morant when he’s waving a gun.”
However, it was his unexpected jab at NBA star Ja Morant that caught the attention of fans and social media alike. Referencing Morant’s controversial gun-waving incident, The Rock added another layer of intrigue to his ongoing feud with Rollins.

In response, Morant took to social media with a humorous 50 Cent meme, playfully questioning The Rock’s choice of words. The exchange between the wrestling legend and the basketball star added an extra dimension to an already heated rivalry.
In response, Ja Morant reacted on social media with a classic 50 Cent meme captioned “what he say ‘f*** me’ for?”
