#5. AEW's Max Caster challenges The Rock
The Rock dropped some bars for the first time as part of rapper Tech N9ne's song 'Face Off,' and the single has topped several music charts worldwide.
The quality of Rock's verse also pleasantly surprised people, including Max Caster. The latter appeared on a 'Platinum Max Monday' segment on TMZ Sports with Mike J. Babcock and Mojo Rawley.
Caster dropped a freestyle verse during the show. The Acclaimed member dissed The Rock's rap and invited the former WWE Champion to show up on Dynamite.
Here's an excerpt from Max Caster's verse and challenge:
"Yo what up to The Rock, yeah I heard your rap song, why you all up in my lane when Dwayne's Johnson is that long? Flow's weak but the lack's strong, when the track's on, you just can't act on, yo come to Dynamite we can get this match on, yo."

While The Rock is yet to respond to Max Caster's freestyle, Dwayne Johnson is highly unlikely to appear on AEW programming due to his affiliation with Vince McMahon's WWE.
However, in a dream-like scenario, Caster vs. The Rock would be a thoroughly enjoyable program. What do you think?
