Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has finally addressed the “slap heard ’round the world.”

This weekend, the WWE legend took to Instagram to share a clip from the WrestleMania XL Kickoff press event of himself slapping Cody Rhodes.

In the post, The Rock shared the following statement:

I was born into this crazy world and I love every second of it.
Itโ€™s been decades since pro wrestling has been buzzing like this for WRESTLEMANIA and this has become rare air that weโ€™re all breathing, and itโ€™s very f**king cool & exciting for us, as wrestlers, our company and most importantly – all our fans.

Your hero f**ked around and he found out quick what happens when you talk about our family with disrespect.

Lines crossed and blurred – bring it.

We donโ€™t toe the mark for no one.
