Vince McMahon fired The Rock before Raw went on the air in Los Angeles

We knew The Rock would be appearing at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California to do something for the crowd before Monday Night Raw went on the air this evening, because he told us. And he did just that, hyping up the crowd while letting them know to stick around after the show to be a part of filming a movie he’s working on.

You knew they would run an angle, though.

Sure enough, after he was done doing his thing, Vince McMahon showed up to fire him (the first video cuts off right as the firing is happening, the second is right after it happened):

Hopefully WWE releases a better video later. We’ll pass it along if they do.
