The Rock showed up before Raw went on the air tonight at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and mentioned that they would be shooting scenes after Raw for the Paige movie, “Fighting With My Family.” Unfortunately, he also mentioned that he would not be appearing on the actual show tonight.
Vince McMahon also came out and simply said, “You’re fired” then walked backstage with The Rock.

.@TheRock made it clear he won't be appearing on #RAW tonight, alas. He'll be back out after for filming of #FightingWithMyFamily footage.
