NEW VIDEO: Carmella Accidentally Exposed With A Nip Slip:
• The Rock is back for WrestleMania 40 and he is cutting lengthy promos on both social media and on TV, to ensure WWE gets the maximum mainstream media coverage ahead of the biggest show of the year.
The People’s Champion maintains his Attitude Era persona and doesn’t care about WWE’s PG rating.
He openly drops F bombs during his social media promos and he even gets to say stuff on TV that other WWE wrestlers aren’t allowed to say.

This has resulted in a lot of WWE wrestlers having an issue with the special treatment The Great One is getting.
Here’s what Aaron Varble reported:
“WWE higher-ups sent out a memo a few weeks ago to talent, reminding them that they need to stick to PG language, even on social media.
Then The Rock gets to drop as many F bombs as he wants to online, even on live television. Now, there is a problem.
I am told that a lot of the talent are asking why Rock gets a pass, and no one else is allowed to curse. The thinking is that even if he is the big movie star, shouldn’t everyone play by the same rules?
So he can curse and use that to get over, but everyone else is handcuffed?”
