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.
I don't follow wrestling but was the rock helping out them other fellas I like last night?

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…
I feel like The Rock’s is like that one bf/gf that you keep taking back no matter what.

Like when he leaves to go back to doing movies you’re like, “Fine, go! We didn’t need you anyway! Enjoy your life in Hollywood!” The Rock.

Then he comes back and it’s like, “I’ve missed you so freaking much! Never leave me again! This is where you belong!” The Rock 💕
