Former WWE RAW General Manager John Laurinaitis returned to WWE television during tonight’s WWE SmackDown tapings at the GIANT Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

The show opened with The Rock cutting a promo on John Cena, however Laurinaitis interrupted and explained that he had permission from Teddy Long to appear. Laurinaitis then said that the reason he’s back is because he has a problem with Cena and said that Cena is to blame for him being fired and said that he would be in The Rock’s corner at WrestleMania. Laurinaitis then extended his hand, however The Rock declined and instead hit a spinebuster and The People’s Elbow on Laurinaitis to end the segment.
