The March 1 episode of WWE SmackDown opened with a buzzworthy segment, as The Rock responded to Cody Rhodes’ challenge to a singles match. However, random blackouts impacted the opening chunk of the broadcast, and many fans questioned the cause.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports that a fan in the crowd had a “Die Rocky Die” sign that FOX was censoring with the blackouts.

The sign can be seen below:
