Before and after raw was on the air, the movie about Paige was filmed where they re-enacted the scene between Paige and AJ Lee. The AJ Lee actress does a pretty good job i must admit! Also the Rock came out and tries to facetime Punk. In another funny segment the Rock is taken backstage by Vince lol! Check it all out :-
Before RAW went on the air, The Rock came out and cut a promo for the fans in the arena about the Paige film project. The Rock then did the routine where he "forgot" his catchphrase until he remembered his which he called the most electrifying. This led to Vince McMahon coming out and yelling "you're fired!" to Rock before leaving.
During the segment, Rock also referenced John Cena by stating, "John Cena is in the movie. I'm kidding, we want a good movie!"
Update
Sean "X-Pac" Waltman, who was backstage at the February 20th RAW in Los Angeles, gave his first-hand account of what happened when The Rock attempted to call CM Punk:
"Obviously there was controversy over The Rock calling CM Punk. I was up in the gorilla position when all that was going down... I'm not going to say who was on the headset saying, cut his mic, cut his mic. Doesn't he realize we're in a lawsuit with this guy? But nobody was really, like mad mad. But it was just like, come on. It was one of those things."

As I said in the Raw thread, all of this is so incredibly surreal

Only the Rock could get away with calling CM Punk from the middle of the ring, with Vince McMahon still in the building. That's just unreal.

So, I didn't watch tonight. Did Rock ever appear actually on Raw TV? Or was is strictly pre/post show?
Also, did Vince literally come "walk The Rock backstage" after he called CM Punk? That doesn't strike me as a good thing lol.

I don't really like the fact that they've gone for actresses recreating the moment when they have perfectly good quality footage of the real thing. Why go for an imitation when you have the real thing? I can understand why they've done it, and therefore, I can just about accept it. I suppose they must plan to have "AJ Lee" in "behind the scenes" scenes. Yeah, I can see audiences as a whole finding it disconcerting to have the same character played by two different actresses in the same film, but personally I just think the real thing is always far better than an imitation. Having said that, she does sound EXACTLY like AJ Lee though, even if she looks nothing at all like her.
That Rock footage was brilliant! Just a joy to watch.

Do they really think Dwayne is who Punk wants to hear from...?
So torn on this CM Punk/WWE thing.

Wonder if Rock knows he was one of the reasons Punk was frustrated in the first place?
I too am torn on Punk & the WWE. I love watching Punk wrestle, so I want him to return. But if he's going to complain the whole time, he'd be better off staying away. Sometimes it's just a case of oil and water.
This also proves Rock does what Rock wants. Cause had they known, I'm not sure they would have green lit this.

Had no idea this was gonna be a dramatization with actors. I thought Rock was filming another documentary like the other one about Paige's family. Really cool to see this, thanks for sharing.
