‘What a beast’ – WWE fans left stunned with The Rock’s shredded physique during wrestling return at WrestleMania aged 51

WWE fans couldn’t believe how good Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson looked during his in-ring return at WrestleMania 40 despite his advanced age.

The Rock, 51, competed in his first wrestling match since WrestleMania 32 eight years ago when he squashed Erick Rowan.

And Johnson picked up the win in a Tag Team Match that saw him teaming up with his cousin and Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns against Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.

The American grappler took Rhodes down with a thunderous Rock Bottom and finished him off with a devastating People’s Elbow during Night One of WrestleMania.

Though WWE were also forced to mute coverage after he broke protocol.

And The People’s Champion did it in style as he looked absolutely shredded with some toned abs and massive muscles.

The WWE Universe quickly took to social media as the Hollywood megastar reminded them of his glory years in the Attitude Era.

One fan tweeted: “The Rock looks more like The Rock than The Rock has ever looked like The Rock.”

Another commented: “Man even after 8 years The Rock hasn’t missed a beat.”

A third wrote: “Damn The Rock looked really good. What a beast.”

This fan said: “The Rock looks great.”

And that one stated: “The Rock is 51. Absolutely impeccable physique.”

The Rock and Reigns’ victory means the latter’s title defence against Rhodes on Sunday at Night Two will be a Bloodline Rules Match.

This means that the champion will be calling all the shots during the bout and thus his Bloodline team-mates, such as Johnson, can interfere.
