It didn’t take long for The Rock, Dwayne Johnson, to make his presence felt on the premiere edition of WWE SmackDown Live on FOX.
Following a welcome from Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon and a new show open, Becky Lynch kicked off the broadcast. She talked about it being a big moment to kick off the new era for WWE but said she was here to kick some ass.
At that moment she was interrupted by Baron Corbin, who made his way to the ring and started questioning Lynch on whether she really was “The Man” but The Rock’s theme song hit just then.
The WWE faithful in Los Angeles gave the Hollywood star and wrestling icon a warm welcome home as he made his way out to the ring.
After Rock said that “finally The Rock has come back home,” he was interrupted bu Corbin. Corbin said that Rock is no longer the Great One. He said he’s the most electrifying man in sports entertainment now, The King, and said “The King says know your roles and shut your mouths.”
Rock then pointed out that Corbin must be getting mad, to which he said that is what happens when you insult the Man, the people, and himself. This lead to a fight breaking out, ending with The Rock giving him the People’s Elbow and the Rock Bottom.
