He put in 10,000 hours of rehearsal time.
No pain, no gain.
And now let's take a look at how he prepared for the battle.
There's a lot of things you can do to prepare for "Lip Sync Battle.

I just snuck a couple in there.
You know? I'm so good at lip-syncing, I can even lip-sync words backwards.
I can talk backwards.
That is "I'm ready to come and beat the Rock and conquer and leave with the belt.
" I don't want to embarrass him, but if it happens, it happens, you know? And he's just got to be a big boy and put his big-boy pants on.
Of course, I'll never say any of this to his face.
'Cause when I see him, I'll be like, "Hey! Hey, Dwayne.
" "How are you, man?" You know what? I got to get in my zone right now.
You can come with me.
This is what I have to do to find my inner peace.
