The Rock gave Pat McAfee his blessing to use that, "Millions and millions" line on the most recent episode of WWE SmackDown.

McAfee revealed, via his podcast, that Dwayne Johnson was very receptive to DMs about the catchphrase ahead of time. In fact, Pat says he originally planned to say the line during build towards his WrestleMania 38 match vs. Theory.

A production mixup stopped that from happening (WWE blasted out some music before McAfee had his moment), but he was able to slide it into his speech on last Friday's show. There, Pat challenged Happy Corbin to a match at SummerSlam and used one of Rocky's famous phrases.

The Rock actually conversed privately with McAfee before SmackDown. Together, they worked out the best way for him to get the line in there. That's really, really cool, and it shows just how highly Johnson rates the WWE announcer.

Afterwards, Rocky fired Pat another DM which simply said: "Hey, pretty good usage of it!". McAfee appreciated the hell out of his help, and wanted to thank the Hollywood star on his show.

Good times.
