The Rock gives a heartfelt shout-out to 58-year-old former WWE star

The Rock made a blockbuster return at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event on October 5. Following his return, The Final Boss recently gave a heartfelt shout-out to a former WWE star on social media.

The name in question is former WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia. The 58-year-old was part of several memorable moments back in the day, including her backstage interviews with The Rock. Garcia made a television appearance earlier this year and announced the King of the Ring match between Gunther and Kofi Kingston.

The People's Champion recently took to his Instagram account to post multiple pictures from his return at Bad Blood. In the comments section, a fan posted a hilarious message referring to the then WCW World Heavyweight Champion's infamous backstage interview with Lilian.

“Admit it Lilian…. You get wet…. WITH PERSPIRATION standing this close to the Rock! 😎,” wrote the fan.

The Hollywood star acknowledged the reference used by the fan and gave a shoutout to Garcia. You can check out the Instagram post by clicking here.

WWE analyst breaks down The Rock's gestures at Bad Blood

The Final Boss made a surprise appearance after the main event at WWE Bad Blood. He walked out to the entrance of the ramp and made a cutthroat gesture after counting to three.

On his Notsam Wrestling podcast after the premium live event, WWE analyst Sam Roberts spoke about the gestures made by the former world champion. He claimed that The Rock was letting all three (Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and Jimmy Uso) know that they were in his line of vision.

"I said to you immediately, I went oh my God, Megan, how many people are in the ring? And, Megan, tell me how many people were in the ring? Three. I said, Megan, The Rock is sending a message to all three of them. I think, that's how I perceived it, that The Rock was letting Jimmy, Roman, and Cody all know that they've just entered into the sights of The Final Boss," he said. [16:05 - 16:34]
