The Rock is back in WWE, and he\'s getting a tremendous amount of heat. Never to be beaten, WWE fans also have figured out a new way to let him know how much they care, while bringing back an old favorite chant.
Sean Ross Sapp noted on Fightful Select that, during The Rock and Roman Reigns segments, blackouts and muting occurred due to the presence of \"Die Rocky Die\" signs and chants. Additionally, a sign referencing \"Rock shops at BALCO\" was removed. BALCO, a business implicated in a sports steroid scandal in the 2000s, was the subject of this sign.
The Rock\'s segment with Roman Reigns exceeded its allotted time by over ten minutes. As a consequence, Naomi\'s entrance and other elements were omitted from the broadcast.
Die Rocky Die
As we previously reported, Die Rocky Die also trended on social media. This was quite a shock, and the fact that WWE and FOX censored the sign and chant means that fans will probably just keep doing it.
This fan chant is a throwback, but a lot of things have changed since the late 90s when it was somewhat acceptable to chant that at Dwayne Johnson in WWE.
What\'s Next For The Rock
WrestleMania 40 night one will see The Rock and Roman Reigns team up against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in tag team action. If the heels win, then it will be Bloodline rules for the Undisputed Universal Title match at WrestleMania\'s second night. If Cody and Seth win, then the Bloodline will be barred from ringside.
The Rock is certainly getting a lot of heat, and we are here for it. Hopefully, fans know it\'s all in good fun, but any chant that wishes death upon someone could be taken seriously.
SEScoops will keep our eye on this story, and everything else on the road to WrestleMania. Only time will tell what fans come up with next, and how much of it will need to be censored.
