Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was calling out more than just opponents when he returned to WWE SmackDown in Memphis Friday night. In a song, similar to a skit he did in 2003, Johnson called out WrestleMania opponents Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins but referenced Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant and his recent off-court struggles to help deliver one of his punch lines. 'You’re so damn desperate to make them all cheer, but The Rock is going to make that title disappear,' Johnson sang.
Morant’s season was again cut short, this time because of injury. Earlier this year, the 24-year-old NBA player was ruled out for the remainder of the season after injuring his shoulder during practice. During his return from the second suspension, Morant averaged 25.1 points in nine games, and the Grizzlies went 6-3 in those contests. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
