WWE forced to cut out during Smackdown show on live TV as ‘drunk and horny’ fan leaves The Rock nervous
WWE were forced to cut to black during a live Smackdown episode as The Rock dealt with a fan he labelled “drunk and horny”.
The iconic wrestler, real name Dwayne Johnson, 51, was performing a segment to the crowd which resulted in him singing a song.
But before he could get to the musical number, the cameras and audio were forced to cut off for around 18 seconds.
And when they came back to air, viewers were left guessing as to what had happened as The Rock engaged with a fan.
Speaking to the individual, he appeared to say: “You look like somebody The Rock could love. Drunk and horny.”
He then added that he “appreciated it”, before he laughed off the incident.
Reacting on social media, one WWE fan said: “We definitely back in the attitude era .”
Another added: “This like the second or third time they had to black out. They need to find a better way to edit tho.
“But regardless of how you feel about Rock, who else gets crazy reactions like this? Bro is him!”
A third replied: “Why would they censor the only interesting thing to happen on WWE?”
While a fourth responded: “Haha kinda hilarious fr .”
It is the second time this month that the WWE cameras have been forced to cut to black during a segment involving The Rock.
Two weeks ago, they had to cut away after a fan held up an offensive banner which read: “Die, Rocky, Die.”
