Update on The Rock’s “Fast 8” Rant, American Alpha’s Opponents from Tonight, SmackDown Pre-show Video
– Below is the complete Smackdown preshow fro earlier tonight featuring Scott Stanford, Lita, Jerry Lawler, and Booker T:
– We reported earlier that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had some choice words for some of his “male co-stars” on the upcoming Fast & Furious 8. TMZ reports that Rock’s rant was targeted at Vin Diesel and that the two had a secret meeting on the “Fast” set today to squash the beef. Rock and Vin reportedly butted heads during production, in part because Vin is a producer and made decisions that didn’t sit well with Rock. The meeting came today after tensions were so high that it was almost impossible to finish shooting. TMZ adds that a majority of the cast is angry at Rock for causing such a stir before filming ends.
– Mike Vega and Mikey O’Shea – the enhancement wrestlers from tonight’s match against American Alpha – are local California indie wrestlers. Below is the post-match segment with American Alpha, The Vaudevillains, The Hype Bros. and The Ascension:
