The Rock appeared on SmackDown alongside Roman Reigns on Friday night, and the pair faced Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins on the first night of WrestleMania next month.
The WWE legend, whose real name is Dwayne Johnson, appeared on Monday Night RAW earlier this week and saw his feud with Rollins fueled even further.
And on Friday, Rollins accepted The Rock’s offer of a tag team match that would also feature Reigns and Rhodes at WrestleMania, with Rollins telling The Rock to “shut up.”
Things later got heated between The Rock and Rhodes, when the former told wrestling legend Dusty’s 38-year-old son that it was a “mistake.” Both of Rhodes’ brothers are significantly older than him.
After that comment from The Rock, Rhodes slapped him before the show ended.

On the second night of the event, Rollins is scheduled to defend his world heavyweight title against Drew McIntyre, while Rhodes and Reigns will battle for the latter’s WWE Universal Championship.
Rollins escalated his feud with Johnson on Monday Night RAW this week, calling him ‘Diarrhea Dwayne’ before revealing that he is medically cleared to return to the ring.
Rollins has not competed since suffering a knee injury during a January 15 match against Jinder Mahal.
