Dwayne Johnson, also known as “The Rock,” made a long-awaited comeback to the WWE ring after a ten-year absence. This time, he faced off against Roman Reigns in an intense showdown.
Since his last WWE match in 2013 against John Cena, both Johnson and Cena have transitioned into successful movie careers. However, it seems that Johnson is ready to step out of retirement and take on his cousin Reigns at an upcoming WrestleMania event in April.
Reigns has held the championship title for over 1200 days, but Johnson made it clear that he meant business by wearing a singlet that read “The People’s Champion.” The tension between the two was palpable as they stood face-to-face in the ring, with neither uttering a word. The crowd, on the other hand, erupted with excitement. Since the WWE uploaded a clip of their encounter on YouTube a few hours ago, it has already amassed nearly a million views.
Both rivals belong to the renowned Anoa’i wrestling family and consider each other as cousins. To confirm the clash between Johnson and Reigns, the WWE has scheduled a press conference in Las Vegas this Thursday.
The highly anticipated event has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some fans skeptical about Johnson’s return while others enthusiastically applaud his comeback.
