The Rock was a featured act on WWE RAW's Netflix debut. The Final Boss popped up following Triple H's promo. He later showed up to endorse Roman Reigns as The Tribal Chief after his Tribal Combat Match with Solo Sikoa.

Speaking on a recent edition of BroDown on Backstage Pass, Vince Russo was asked to share his thoughts on The Rock's return to RAW, which saw him put over Cody Rhodes:

"The last time we saw you two together, you were beating Cody up with his own tour truck. Now you're putting him over, come on bro. There's no logic to these things. Logic is out the window."

He continued:

"But here's the best part, Mac. So then not only does Rock drink and drive, but he leaves his kids in the building. He leaves his kids there and drink. He's drinking a bottle of tequila and take it off. Who's bringing the kids home?" [From 08:13 onwards]

The Rock appeared on NXT New Year's Evil the very next night. He had a backstage segment with Ava and Ethan Page. The People's Champion capped off the night with an in-ring promo. Fans can check out a major update on WWE's plans for a major match featuring Rock by clicking here.

About the author

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.

Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.

He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
