The Rock made his wrestling comeback on Monday night and it was everything everyone hoped for.

Wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson found time in his schedule for a return to WWE Raw, bringing out his Wrestlemania alter-ego in all his egotistical glory.

 

As he pulled up in his mega-truck, he destroyed professional wrestler The Miz, throwing him his keys and saying: “Hey, do me a favour and park The Rock’s truck.”

The People’s Champion managed to make Big Show sob by suggesting he could have had a successful film career in his place, and then made things awkward with Lana (CJ Perry) by bringing up a night they spent together.

 

After plenty of skits and a lot of spiel, he announced: “Finally The Rock has come back … home.”

Fans were delighted.

With films including Baywatch and Fast 8 in the pipeline, The Rock is keeping incredibly busy.

He posted: “345am wake/14hr work day. Still ballin’.. (thank God for good lighting ;)”

One fan was delighted to welcome him back – even if she knew he would only leave her again…
