– It appears that The Rock will not be making an appearance on tonight’s SmackDown 1000 episode as he sent out the following tweet to congratulate the WWE on this milestone:
“Huge #SD1000 congrats to my @WWE family! Fun fact, in 1998, I said to @VinceMcMahon “I’m gonna use the word ‘Smackdown’ tonight in my promo”. He said what’s that mean? I said it means I’m gonna whup some ass. He belly laughed and said say it! The rest was history! #IfYaSmell”
