Not too mention Rock can come in and basically do whatever he wants. If Rock wants to go out there and improv a segment, he can, and Vince won't say a negative thing about it to Rock, no matter how pissed Vince might be.
Rock has the talent and experience to do it, because before everyone started to have scripted promos, Rock was given the freedom and opportunity to go out in front of a live crowd and do it, practicing, failing sometimes, learning and eventually mastering it.
In addition, Rock doesn't need WWE, certainly not from a financial standpoint. If Rock goes out and pisses off Vince or WWE's sponsors, NBC Universal, etc., Rock knows he's untouchable. He's a bigger draw, especially mainstream draw, than anyone else they have on the roster currently. Rock's going to draw eyeballs and money unless he just randomly becomes a train wreck, drug addicted, criminal or something.
