Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made an appearance on Friday Night SmackDown in Memphis and sang a tune for his WrestleMania 40 opponents, Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, during which Grizzlies star Ja Morant caught a few strays, so to speak.
Johnson, 51, made the Memphis crowd boo in unison while displaying a picture of Morant and singing that Rollins is an embarrassment like the Grizzlies guard “waving a gun.”

Morant, 24, was suspended for the first 25 games of the current NBA season because he brandished a firearm on social media more than once, even after the league’s initial warning.
“Cackling and dancing is all that you do,” Johnson sang. “No wonder that your wife’s more popular than you. You’re so damn desperate to make them all cheer, but The Rock is going to make that title, disappear. You’re simply an embarrassment, son. Just like Ja Morant when he’s waving a gun.”

Johnson made sure to let know Morant he was just kidding and even wished him a speedy recovery. The young NBA player is out for the season due to injury.
“I love you, Ja! Get better soon,” said The Rock to finish his song.
Morant had to seek counseling following his multiple instances with lethal weapons on social media, so he might not find Johnson’s jokes too funny.
