Johnson addresses his comeback.
The last time Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was on WWE programming was on the Raw after WrestleMania XL. He told then-newly crowned Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes that their story is far from over.
After Rhodes and Reigns defeated The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu) at Bad Blood, Johnson made his return to the company and stared down Rhodes, Reigns and the returning Jimmy Uso.
He went live on Instagram and his entire return was documented. He spoke about his comeback and mentioned that he’ll share his thoughts about the last six months as it relates to Reigns, Rhodes and The Bloodline when he feels like it. Here’s the full transcription, courtesy of POST Wrestling’s own Neal Flanagan:
Is the final boss pissed? Is the final boss happy? Is he somewhere down the middle? Well, the final boss says this. The Rock is feeling a lot of things about what he just witnessed. The final boss — you keep that camera rolling — the final boss is feeling a lot of things. And you know why? Because there’s been a bunch of bullshit that’s been going on in the past six months.
You want to know how the final boss is feeling about all that? The final boss will tell you. But the final boss will tell you when the final boss is ready for you to know. But here’s the thing. What just happened out there, Bad Blood? Man. That was heat. Man. That was fire. Man. That was hell.
But what’s happening right here — this? This is heaven. Because it’s heaven every time the final boss, his music hits.
… Every time The Rock comes back to the WWE Universe. The Versace comes on, the glasses come on. The People Champ title, bestowed upon The Rock by Muhammad Ali’s wife herself. And The Rock becomes the final boss. But what just happened tonight. You felt the electricity. You felt the fire. That place was going crazy tonight before The Rock came out.
The final boss music hits. Bang. Roof blew off that place. The world will never be the same again. Because right now, The Rock is feeling good. Right now, everybody at home who just witnessed the final boss come out is feeling good. Right now, the world is feeling good.
… At the end of the day, you can hate a lot of things. And The Rock understands. Because The Rock hates a lot of things, too. The final boss hates a lot of things. You can hate a lot of things in your life. But the one thing that you will never hate is the final boss. You know, The Rock doesn’t like limousines. He doesn’t like limousine drivers. The Rock drives himself everywhere. Ladies and gentlemen, what you just felt was the final boss. There ain’t nothing like it. And there will never, ever be anything like it again. If you smell what The Rock is cookin’.
Rhodes’ night was not over as a Bad Blood attendee captured footage of Kevin Owens attacking Rhodes by his tour bus in the parking lot.
