John Cena's music hits and
he makes his way down to the ring. He puts over the crowd and then hypes
tonight's announcement of the Wrestlemania Guest Host.
Cena teases Lady Gaga, Sammi from The Jersey Shore, and his personal choice –
Michael Cole. Cena says that McMahon said the guest host has had a special
moment. Cole has this every time he gets a late night email from the mystery GM.
Plus, he has a special feeling every time he sees Alex Riley and The Miz. Cena
decides to question Cole's manhood as well.
Cena says that while tonight we find out who will host Wrestlemania, on Sunday
we will find out who is going to Wrestlemania! Cena says that after the year he
has had, he needs this. He needs to go Wrestlemania this year. Cena recounts the
struggle of his year which included serving as a slave for the Nexus. CM Punk is
brought up in regards to their match tonight, which of course calls for Punk's
music to hit the stereo.
Punk makes his way down to the ring, and says that the record reflects that he
is 2-0 versus Cena. Punk says that even here in the WWE, bad things happen to
good people.

Justin Roberts is in the ring. He announces that the host of Wrestlemania is –
The lights go out in the arena. One by one, each lighting fixture clicks off.
The stage goes all white, and then vanishes to black. Smoke fills the tron, and
then vanishes.
IF YOU SMELL!!!!!!
The Rock makes his way down to the ring, and takes time to pose in each corner.
He grabs the microphone, and the crowd is going insane. He looks to talk, but
pauses to soak up the atmosphere.
"After seven long years, finally, finally, FINALLY the Rock has come back to
Anaheim California, which means that finally, the Rock has come back to Monday
Night Raw. Which means finally The Rock has come back home."
Before The Rock gets into that, before we electrify, before we tear it up
tonight - The Rock wants to talk. He discusses the seven year absence from the
WWE. He says that he dreamed big. The Rock promises that now that he is back, he
is never going to leave again! The Rock teases that he is not the guest host,
but in fact it is none other – than Justin Bieber! The Rock goes on to say that
Vince McMahon tried to convince Rock that Bieber would be a great host, but
there is no way he is letting that happen. Bieber will be at Wrestlemania, but
The Rock will be the Host! The Rock also says that he will have no problem
laying the Smackdown on anyone's ass. He goes through a list of opponents, but
says there is one man that he wants.
*GeneralMail Alert
And I quote...
Michael Cole announces that he has an email, but The Rock interrupts him. He
says that no one in the audience gives a damn what his General manager has to
say. Cole is not going to interrupt him while he is live on Raw! The Rock begins
to taunt Michael Cole and Cole is pleading with him. The Rock asks if Cole
actually thinks people care – it doesn't matter what you think!
The Rock says tells Cole to sit down and not say a word, and I quote, "you know
your damn role, and shut your damn mouth".
If not, he is going to have some great pictures to post on Facebook. Rock says
he will shove those pictures up Cole's candy ass. There is one man that The Rock
needs to see face to face. He wished him well. But, out of the blue, this
competitor started to talk trash on him for no reason. That man, is John Cena!
The Rock wants to understand how the WWE has gone from the powerful Austin 3:16
to "You Can't See Me". The Rock tells Cena, that he will see him at Wrestlemania!
Just like he will see everyone at Wrestlemania. The Rock mocks Cena, and the
crowd starts a loud "Cena Sucks" chant. Just as sure as John Cena looks like he
got shot out of Barney the Dinosaur's anus. The Rock launches into a series of
catchphrases, and the crowd is going insane.
If you smelllllll – what the Rock is cooking!
