With SmackDown taking place from Memphis last night, The Rock got in touch with his musical side and brought back the Rock Concert.

Memphis is where The Rock spent time wrestling after first signing with the WWF in the 1990s. Because of that, he was nicer to the crowd than he’s been in recent weeks. But The Rock had plenty of ammunition for Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, and the Cody Crybabies. He performed a blues song directed at them during last night’s opening segment.

Rock sang about Rhodes:

Dusty’s youngest son was just what he feared. He tried to raise him right, but he turned out too weird [Stardust picture appears on the video screen]. That’s when Dusty said with total frustration, that drugs and cheap condoms was a bad combination. I know it keeps Cody awake, to know he wasn’t planned and he was a mistake.

He then turned his attention to Rollins:

Cackling and dancing is all that you do. No wonder that your wife’s more popular than you. You’re so damn desperate to make them all cheer, but The Rock is going to make that title disappear. You’re simply an embarrassment, son. Just like [Memphis Grizzlies star] Ja Morant when he’s waving a gun.

To conclude the song, Rock addressed Rhodes’ “crybaby” fans:

This one’s for you, Cody Crybabies. You’re all so entitled, obnoxious, and brash. Some of you have sex, but you have to pay cash. Your hero is going to bleed and need some stitches, so whine about that you crybaby bitches. There’s some lines you just don’t cross. You all can kiss the ass of The Final Boss.

The concert was a throwback to The Rock’s Hollywood Rock character. He used the Hollywood Rock theme for a portion of his entrance last night.

After the song, Rock cut a promo similar to the one he posted on social media earlier in the day. He directed a message at Rhodes’ mother, promising to whip Rhodes with his weight belt at WrestleMania. Rock said he’ll then present that bloody belt to Mama Rhodes.

Referencing his “You’re Welcome” song from the Disney movie Moana, Rock said:

The Rock is going to walk right over to you, Mama Rhodes. And he’s going to hand you this belt. He’s going to hand you this belt right here. And he’s going to put it in your lap. And you’re going to be crying just like your son. And that’s ok. Because then, The Rock is going to whisper in your ear, Mama Rhodes. And with all the blood on your son’s belt here and your tears on that belt, The Rock is going to whisper in your ear, he’s going to wipe your tears away, and he’s going to say, Michelle, ‘What can I say except you’re welcome?’
