10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About WrestleMania 40
8. The Rock Wouldn't Stop Swearing
The Rock's return was marked by an unexpected series of expletive-laden outbursts that caught everyone off guard.
The incidents began during WrestleMania XL Kickoff when Cody Rhodes made a derogatory comment about The Rock's family. This led to a heated backstage confrontation between The Rock and Triple H. In a rare display of anger, The Rock unleashed a torrent of curses at Triple H, demanding that he address Cody's disrespectful remarks, turning heel in the process.
The tension didn't end there. During his electrifying entrance as "The Final Boss," The Rock continued using colourful language that was picked up by the microphones. Fans were both shocked and entertained by his unfiltered reactions, which added an unexpected layer of realism to the event.
Later in the night, The Rock's confrontation with John Cena also featured some choice words.
After Cena helped Cody Rhodes fend off an attack from Solo Sikoa, The Rock, still visibly agitated, let slip a few more expletives while addressing the crowd, which made for a number of silences on the broadcast, as WWE quickly muted the bad language.
The whole thing felt completely fresh, but fans couldn't help but notice the audio pauses throughout.
