The Rock kicked off WWE RAW’s new era on Netflix with an exciting appearance at the Inuit Dome in Los Angeles, California, sending fans into a frenzy as the Final Boss entered the arena.
The Rock entered into the ring and addressed the fans and fans worldwide. He reflected on the record-breaking crowd for making history and also thanked the Netflix executives in attendance.
The Final Boss also confronted Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, teasing the idea of spilling more blood. In a surprising twist, he thanked Rhodes for carrying WWE over the past year while Cody Rhodes sat ringside, smiling.
He then turned his focus to Roman Reigns, calling him the “Original Tribal Chief.” Later in the show, he honored Reigns by presenting him with the Ula Fala after beating Solo Sikoa. Many expected The Rock to embrace his villainous side as the Final Boss, as he did in the previous year.
However, he shocked fans by appearing friendly with his rival Cody Rhodes at the Netflix premiere. The Final Boss later addressed his surprising actions on WWE NXT. He assured the fans that he was thinking 20 steps ahead, telling the doubting fans who were upset by his actions to stop complaining and enjoy what was about to unfold.
After his appearance on WWE RAW, fans were left confused by his actions. While many believe it is part of his plan, they expect him to unleash his Final Boss side when the time is right. Amidst this speculation, recent reports have revealed the producers behind The Rock’s segment on WWE RAW.
