The Rock reflects on his return on WWE Raw.
The Rock made a surprise appearance on WWE Raw Day 1 and electrified the crowd as he interrupted Jinder Mahal, who had been insulting the fans and America itself. After thoroughly making fun of Mahal, The Rock dropped him with a spinebuster. The Rock then pondered where he should eat, and he teased sitting at the head of the table, which was a clear nod to Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
On January 5, The Rock took to Twitter/X to share a clip of his return. He stated that he would honor his sacred connection with the people forever. The former world champion noted that he had experienced some loud pops, but the one on Monday was different.
25+ years of sacred connection with the people that I’ll forever honor.

This eruption at the end just hit different. I’ve experienced some very loud crowd pops, but this was different. Layers. Chills.
