Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson returned Friday night for the WWE Friday Night Smackdown<\/em> at the Ball Arena in Denver, CO. As might be expected, the crowd went wild, resulting in a four-minute standing ovation for the actor, who is currently out of work in his day gig.<\/p>\n

Pat McAfee helped goose the event appearance. “This is the people’s show. And you know what that means,” McAfee said as The Rock made his entrance .<\/p>\n

The match featured the rock against Austin Theory. <\/p>\n

The Rock hasn’t appeared on Smackdown<\/em> since 2019, since he’s been busy making movies. But he hasn’t forgotten the wrestling script. <\/p>\n

When Theory started to antagonize him, asking, “Do you know whose ring you’re in?” The Rock responded. “Shut your bitch-ass up. You clearly don’t know how all this works.” <\/p>\n

He then doffed his jacket and roared, “Finally, The Rock has come back to Denver!”<\/p>\n

Highlighting the match was The Rock’s use of his signature move, The People’s Elbow. See below for details.<\/p>\n

Also on hand was The Rock’s former rival, John Cena, who faced off against Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa during the program. The two superstars shared a moment before the match, and Cena later posted to X about the night. <\/p>\n

“The best nights are the ones when we remember we’re all fans,” Cena wrote. “Welcome home, The Rock.” <\/p>\n
