The Rock Reveals Why He Switched Up His Entrance Music on SmackDown

The Final Boss didn’t just make an entrance on SmackDown—he made a statement.

Fans were caught off guard when Lil Wayne’s “The Block Is Hot” kicked off The Rock’s entrance, blending seamlessly into his iconic “Electrifying” theme. Now, The Great One is explaining exactly why he decided to mix things up.

During the SmackDown post-show media scrum, The Rock made it clear this was all about respect. “I wanted to give love to Wayne, and I love Kendrick, and I love the Super Bowl. I loved his performance, so it was my way of showing love to the OG.”

With Lil Wayne being a New Orleans legend, the theme switch fit perfectly with The Rock’s major announcement that WrestleMania 42 is coming to The Big Easy. It also lines up with The Rock’s history of keeping things fresh, whether it’s inside the ring or out.

Now the question is—was this a one-time remix for New Orleans, or is this The Rock’s new official entrance theme? What do you think? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
