Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson makes stunning WWE return on Monday Night Raw and calls out superstar for mouthwatering fight

WWE legend Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson made a shock return to Monday Night Raw – and teased a mega WrestleMania showdown.

The 51-year-old surprised fans back in September with an appearance on Smackdown following a four-year absence from wrestling.

However, after days of teasing from WWE chief Triple H that a former champion would be returning last night, the Great One was back with a bang.

Towards the start of the show, commentators confirmed that an ex-WWE champ would be returning later in the show.

But fans were initially left disappointed when Jinder Mahal entered the arena.

After he tore into America and the crowd in attendance, suddenly the place exploded as Rock’s famous music hit.

The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment proceeded to perform a number of his catchphrases and verbally embarrass Mahal before laying the smack down and hitting The People’s Elbow.

But before the icon, who became one of the most recognisable faces on the planet during the WWE Attitude Era days in the 1990s, left he still had time to drop a huge bombshell – and it involved someone that he considers family.

That person is none other than Roman Reigns, real name Joe Anoaʻi, who has been WWE Universal champ for over three years.

They refer to each other as cousins, though they are not technically related as their grandfathers, who are both from Samoa, were blood brothers.

Reigns is the leader of The Bloodline and has taken over as the Tribal Chief of his family, who have an illustrious history in the business, and refers to himself as Head of the Table.

He has long been rumoured to be set to face Rock in a WrestleMania main event, but after years of speculation, it now appears to be on the cards.

Speaking last night to the red-hot crowd, Rock finished his appearance by saying: “I’m gonna go get something to eat.

“Should The Rock sit in a booth? Or should The Rock sit at the bar?”

He then finished by asking: “Or should The Rock sit… at the head of the table?”

The crowd reacted with delight at that as the prospect of the long-awaited showdown finally appears to be on the horizon.

Rock, who paved the way for wrestlers to make the transition to the mainstream entertainment business, last competed in a six-second impromptu match against Erick Rowan at WrestleMania 32.
