The Rock kicked off Sunday’s Super Bowl event with a WWE-esque promo from the 50-yard-line inside Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium. After reflecting on how both the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals made it to the championship game, he said, “It is time for all of us here and millions around the world to bare witness to these incredible players, who will leave every ounce of sweat, guts, pride and legacy upon this field because that is what champions do. Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to say, finally, it is time for the Super Bowl!” Since then, Johnson has reflected on the moment in a number of social media posts.
