Friday Night SmackDown’s debut on FOX got off to an electrifying start.
King Corbin interrupted Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch as she prepared for her tag team match tonight with the rest of the Four Horsewomen, but he was immediately interrupted by the man who literally invented the dang show, The Rock!
The Great One was in vintage form, slinging insults at the King like nobody’s business and mocking his outlandish King of the Ring attire. The Man got in on the fun, with the two brainstorming a brand-new nickname for King Corbin, the “super tough dude.” Or, as The Rock instructed the WWE Universe to chant… S-T-D.
Fuming after being disrespected, Corbin tried to attack The People’s Champ, but he was dispatched by The Rock and Lynch. The beatdown was capped off by a People’s Elbow and a thunderous Rock Bottom, creating the first-ever iconic SmackDown moment on FOX.
