I said, 'Well good, The Rock is coming to SmackDown.'## I went out there -- it was really an incredible thing. I've been really lucky over the years to entertain in a lot of different ways, but that kind of connection with the WWE audience -- by the way, that kind of connection, it's just like this tonight. With a live audience, there's nothing like it.## So my music hit, ‘If you smell.’ And I went out there. They had no idea. And you guys know how hard it is to keep a secret. It doesn't exist. This was a full-on secret. The people went nuts, 13,000 people sounded like 130,000 people. And it was just incredible. So WWE audience, it's my family, I love them, and it was incredible. And by the way, I gotta say, not only is that connection just like this incredible, but there’s nothing like going to SmackDown and laying the smackdown on their candy asses all night long. ## Johnson's return to WWE was a major moment for the company, and it is sure to be one of the most talked-about moments of the year. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
