In an exciting turn of events, the electrifying Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson made a surprise appearance at WWE Raw Day 1 in San Diego, California. The anticipation had been building for days, fueled by internet rumors and even a Twitter mention from Triple H, addressing the speculation surrounding a former WWE Champion gracing WWE Raw Day 1.
As the WWE Raw Day 1 kicked off, fans were on the edge of their seats, guessing whether it would be the return of Brock Lesnar or John Cena. Meanwhile, in the second hour of the show, to everyone’s surprise, Jinder Mahal emerged when Samantha Irvin announced the arrival of a ‘former WWE Champion.’
Mahal wasted no time in stirring controversy, delivering a scathing promo on the current state of the US. He criticized it as divided, ignorant, and influenced by misinformation and social media. However, soon, things took an unexpected turn, setting the stage for an intense encounter. As soon as The Rock’s music hit, the crowd erupted, and the People’s Champion entered the ring to a thunderous ovation, confronting Jinder Mahal.
The Rock, true to his charismatic style, shut down Mahal with his unparalleled mic skills. The confrontation escalated into a physical altercation, with the People’s Champion showcasing his signature move, the iconic People’s Elbow.
The Rock sends a message to Roman Reigns at WWE RAW Day 1
WWE fans experienced an unexpected treat with The Rock’s surprise return. Furthermore, his confrontation with former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal added to the excitement.
After delivering People’s Elbow to Mahal, The Rock seized the microphone to pose a significant question to the crowd. He hinted at the potential long-awaited match that fans have desired for years.
Furthermore, The Rock asked San Diego a crucial question about his dinner plans, whether to sit in a booth, at the bar (which met with cheers, and he expressed his preference for the bar), or ‘the Head of the Table.’
This reference to ‘the Head of the Table’ stirred the arena, as it directly alluded to the current WWE Champion, Roman Reigns.
Since his shift to a heel persona in 2020, Roman Reigns has asserted himself as the Head of the Table and Tribal Chief of the Bloodline. This marks the initial significant indication from WWE, hinting at an eventual showdown between The Rock and Roman Reigns.
The response from the Tribal Chief to The People’s Champion is undoubtedly eagerly awaited.
