Report: WWE Management Upset At The Rock For Going Off Script On RAW

WWE management was not happy with The Rock going off the script during his segment on RAW last week. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, some WWE staffers were reportedly “freaking out” backstage when The Rock decided to interrupt his promo to talk to fans in the front row dressed as WWE Hall of Famers.

According to reports, for anyone other than The Rock or Cena, the stunt would have gotten them fired. The Rock is able to go off the script as there is nothing WWE can really do to him at this point.

Ha well at @WWE events, going "off script" is what I live for. So much fun for the fans. Nightmare for Vince. ? https://t.co/NeBxm8yMHI

For those who didn’t watch the show, the fan dressed as Randy Savage prompted several “Macho Man” chants during RAW by standing on his chair. Security told the fans to calm down, and they were eventually removed and given different seats.
