* The Rock's promo on the March 1, 2024 episode of [=SmackDown=] has him reminding the crowd in Phoenix that they're the number one city in America for cocaine and meth use and ''the crowd cheered''.
--->'''Rock:''' And here's what that means. Finally... your life has meaning! Because finally, you cactus-loving crackheads finally have something worth shooting in your veins!
** And to close off the promo:
--->'''Rock:''' Now go home and smoke some more crack!

--->'''Rock:''' Dusty's youngest son was just what he feared\\
He tried to raise him right but he turned out too weird ''[an image of Cody as [[CloudCuckooLander Stardust]] appears on the Titantron]''\\
That's when Dusty said with total frustration\\
That drugs and cheap condoms was a bad combination!\\
I know it keeps Cody awake\\
to know he wasn't planned and he was a mistake!

* The Rock held a fourth "Rock concert" on March 15, 2024's ''[=SmackDown=]'':
** Among the gems, between throwing shade at Cody for being "a mistake" and calling Seth Rollins "the living embodiment of cringe", The Rock sang a song addressing, first, the team of Cody and Seth:
--->'''Rock:''' The Rock is gonna come lay the smacketh down\\
On [[Wrestling/CodyRhodes your blonde candy ass]] and [[Wrestling/SethRollins your best friend, the clown]]\\
I'm gonna whoop that ass, and break your back\\
Or maybe I'll just beat you with [[SelfDeprecation my fanny pack]]! ''[an [[OldShame infamous]] image of The Rock from a 90s photoshoot appears on the Titantron, with Rock wearing a fanny pack]''
** Towards Seth Rollins:
--->'''Rock: '''[[LaughingMad Cacklin']] and [[PracticallyJoker dancin']] is all that you do\\
No wonder that [[Wrestling/BeckyLynch your wife's]] more popular than you\\
''[crowd audibly groans]''
** And finally, he addressed the "Cody Crybabies":
--->'''Rock:''' You're all so entitled, obnoxious, and brash\\
Some of you have sex, but you have to pay cash\\
Your hero's gonna bleed... and need some stitches\\
So whine about ''that'', you crybaby bitches!

* During his short run in 2004, there was a point where he, Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin, and Wrestling/MickFoley are having a standard Austin beer celebration. Austin toasts Foley with beer only to turn around and see Rock wanting to toast as well… only he has an Orange Gatorade. Austin turns away to laugh while Rock keeps shouting “Hey! Hey!” and expecting a toast. Finally, Austin begrudgingly toasts Rock’s Gatorade.

Chatting up the fans at ringside while Triple H hit the Pedigree and covered. When he did see HHH hit the pedigree and cover, he was so awed by the Pedigree that he forgot to count, instead applauding HHH and offering him two thumbs up. The Rock spent most of the match just doing commentary.
