If you found yourself confused about Dwayne Johnson's Super Bowl intro, you were not alone.
The Rock was brought in to hype up the Los Angeles crowd just before the Rams and the Bengals kicked off Super Bowl 56. He brought his usual showmanship Ryan Braun Jersey to the field and delivered an impa sioned monologue to the crowd at SoFi Stadium.

Joe Burrow's quote probably best sums up what most people were thinking during The Rock's introduction.
"What is he doing out Christian Yelich Jersey there?" Burrow said.
Burrow then joked with backup quarterback Brandon Allen, "Hes on kickoff returns. They signed him."
MORE:
Meanwhile, Zac Taylor was spotted cracking up at Johnson's antics while Aaron Donald was told, "That Eric Thames Jersey s going to be you in 10 years, your acting career."
It's worth noting that the Rams had legendary boxing announcer Michael Buffer at most of their home games during the season. He would deliver a brief pregame me sage before unleashing his trademarked phrase, "Let's get ready to rumble!"
IYER:
It's unclear why SoFi Stadium pivoted to The Rock for Manny Pina Jersey the Super Bowl, but his speech certainly generated a lot of buzz. Mi sion accomplished.
