Justin Roberts was in the ring and asked everyone to help welcome the host of Wrestlemania 27. Some strange music started with a light show, and then the arena went dark with lights shutting off one-by-one. A bunch of cloud and lightning effects went all over the Titantron then the arena went dark again. Suddenly, "If you smell what the Rock is cooking" came on the speakers and the crowd erupted. The Rock arrived out from backstage wearing a "Just Bring It" sleeveless T and shades. He paced back and forth on the ramp as the crowd roared for him.

Rock waited for several moments in the ring as the crowd continued with cheers and chants. He did his finally bit, saying he had finally returned to WWE Raw aka "home." The Rock said he has many nicknames including "The Great One," "The Most Electrifying Man in all of Sports Entertainment," and "The People's Champion."

Rock also took off his shades and spoke directly to the fans saying he wasn't back for the money or to promote a movie, but because of the fans. He cut another promo moments later saying that Justin Bieber was suggested as WM27 host, but The Rock said he's the only host for the job. He promised to layeth the Smackdown to someone at Wrestlemania, but asked who? Will it be The Miz. Rock mocked the "I'm Awesome" catch phrase saying it means he 100% completely sucks.


Rock said there's one more man who The Rock wants to see. Before he could say the name, the lights flashed and email sound chimed. Michael Cole stood up laughing as Rock got a puzzled look on his face. Cole asked for everyone's attention. Rock continued to stare at Cole, then got on the mic telling Cole there's no way he'll let him walk over to that laptop computer. He asked Cole if he thinks that. Cole was about to tell him what he thinks but Rock said "it doesn't matter what you think!" He told Cole "and I quote, know your role and shut your damn mouth!" Rock said he will post some pictures on Facebook.com/DwayneJohnson of himself shining that laptop real nice and stickin that straight up Cole's candy ass. Rock told Cole he looked like a "drunk hobbit" and to sit down. Another "Rocky" chant started up.

Rock said there's a guy he saw when he left the business who started talking trash when he left. Rock said he thought the guy was cool and his name was John cena. Fans started up a "Cena sucks" chant. Rock then asked if WWE has gone from the powerful "Austin 3:16" to the "Can you Smell What the Rock is Cooking?" to "You Can't See Me" which he said in a whiny mocking voice. Rock said everyone can see his monkey ass because of the colorful shirts he wears around looking like a big bowl of fruity pebbles.
