The Rock mentioned on Twitter that his CM Punk phone call after Raw was improvised.
I work off instinct, always listen to the people and try to give em something special. Huge positive feedback from @WWE Universe. Fun night https://t.co/4AZFOMFqPw

As previously mentioned, WWE “management” was not very happy about the call, since they still have some “beef” with CM Punk. According to PWInsider, Vince McMahon and Triple H were both personally bothered by the call and Vince McMahon had a referee sent down to ringside to tell The Rock to move on to a different subject and The Rock apparently complied.
