The Rock hasn’t been seen on WWE TV since last year. However, a RAW Superstar recently challenged him to a first-time-ever match.
The Final Boss returned to WWE last year in the buildup to Elimination Chamber. He demanded that Cody Rhodes sell his “soul” and become a corporate champion. At the premium live event, Rhodes boldly refused Rocky’s proposal. However, the legend had a backup plan in place. Alongside rapper Travis Scott, The Rock orchestrated John Cena’s unexpected heel turn.
Thanks for the submission!
The trio launched a brutal attack on The American Nightmare, leaving him in a pool of his own blood. Following the segment, the Hollywood megastar was expected to appear at WrestleMania 41, but he missed the show.
It has been over two years since The Final Boss last wrestled in WWE. However, he might now have a legitimate reason to come back. On the latest episode of Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Ethan Page discussed sharing the screen with Rocky for a promo segment in NXT.
“I mean, there’s nothing else that I need to do [besides thanking The Rock for being an inspiration], unless he wants to have a match with me,” Page said.
All Ego then shockingly issued a challenge to The Rock for a one-on-one match. He also fired shots at the legend while in character.
“Come on. Rock, put your little underwear on. Let’s do it. Everybody wants to see your hamstrings.” [H/T: chrisvanvliet.com]
