The Rock RETURNS to WWE for the first time in four years as wrestling legend stuns fans by making shock appearance at SmackDown show

After a long absence from WWE, superstar Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson made his long-awaited return to the ring during an episode of SmackDown in Denver, Colorado.

Just hours after appearing on The Pat McAfee Show – live on the University of Colorado campus – The Rock appeared at the wrestling promotion where he made a name for himself.

McAfee, a commentator for WWE, was in the ring with 2022 US Champion Austin Theory when The Rock suddenly made his entrance.

Johnson has been absent from the ring since October 2019, when he appeared on the SmackDown 20th anniversary show.

The Rock received huge cheers from the crowd at Ball Arena, who were then treated to a small demonstration of his wrestling abilities.
