It was a warm and festive night in Miami as thousands packed the American Airlines Arena to celebrate the birthday of their hometown hero, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
As The Rock stood in the center of the ring, acknowledging the millions....and millions, of The Rock’s fans, his attention quickly turned towards the announce table. In the weeks prior, Michael Cole had been spewing a lot of shade towards The Rock and he surely intended to confront this issue.
As The Rock called Cole to the ring, to give him a chance to apologize, Cole took off his top layer of clothing, only to reveal a Boston Celtics jersey, which further fueled heat from the Miami faithful. Once in the ring, it was an awkward few moments for Cole, until finally, The Rock extended his hand in what appeared to be an olive branch type of moment. However, the great one quickly pulled Michael in, planted him with a Rock Bottom, before finally finishing the mouthy commentator off with a People's Elbow, much to the delight of Rocky’s fellow Miami faithful.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
