In an unexpected turn of events last week, Mr. Electric himself, The Rock, stole the spotlight on WWE SmackDown. His return, as grand as his persona, not only shook the crowd in the arena but also rocked the show’s schedule. Oh, and did I mention his face-off with Austin Theory – a real page-turner!
The People’s Champion, The Rock, indeed had a glorious homecoming. The actor-wrestler showed up on SmackDown and tossed around his charm for twenty solid minutes. The crowd roared with approval and WWE did what it does best – provided premium entertainment that left the audience begging for more.
Backstage footage displayed the pure exhilaration radiating from The Rock before he surprised the Denver crowd. Humor led the way as our beloved hero even took a dig at Austin Theory, getting the crowd to call him out, rambunctiously so. The glimpse of his much-anticipated promo with Austin Theory is also uncensored and available for all die-hard wrestling fans to enjoy.
The Rock’s prolonged screen-time may have caused some recalibration for the rest of the broadcast. According to BWE, certain segments, although unidentified, had to be trimmed for time due to the extended spotlight on The Rock. Sure enough, the unexpected shake-up brought about a new kind of thrill to the broadcast – a fresh reminder of the wonderful unpredictability of pro-wrestling.
One of the highlights was our People’s Champ sharing a special moment with fellow wrestling superstar, John Cena. A vital testament to the camaraderie that transcends beyond the wrestling ring.
The larger question that lingers now is – when will we next witness The Rock return to WWE’s grand arena? His sporadic appearances on SmackDown have consistently shot up the viewership rate, underscoring his robust star power. Ringside News’s 2021 report confirmed that The Rock was all set to wrestle Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. Although time has moved on, fans can only hope that this tantalizing showdown still has a chance to materialize.
Our SmackDown coverage hints towards another exhilarating week coming up. Stay tuned for more, and don’t forget to let us know your take on The Rock’s surprise presence on SmackDown in the comments section.
