00:02 Dwayne Johnson shocks fans with his WWE return.

00:09 [crowd cheering]

00:12 Yeah, Dwayne, or should we say The Rock,

00:16 made a surprise appearance

00:17 on Friday night's SmackDown in Denver.

00:20 - There's nothing like the world of pro wrestling.

00:22 - The People's Champion faced off against Austin Theory,

00:25 quickly taking the wrestler down with his signature move.

00:29 [crowd cheering]

00:30 - Oh no! Theory's about to experience it!

00:34 The most electrified move in all of entertainment!

00:39 The People's Elbow!

00:40 - And delighting his fans.

00:43 [crowd cheering]

00:45 - It's been a long time!

00:47 - All that applause got Dwayne in his feels,

00:50 writing on the 'Gram, "Thank you with all my love,

00:52 gratitude, and respect to the people.

00:55 Our connection is real. Armada is powerful."

00:58 He even signed off the People's Champ.

01:01 [crowd cheering]

01:03 - There's no other platform like that

01:08 where I can express myself in a physical way,

01:12 in an entertaining way.

01:13 So any opportunity I can to go back and entertain,

01:16 and the only reason why I go back

01:20 really is for the fans,

01:22 and to do something special for them.

01:23 Because in doing something special for them,

01:25 I gotta tell you, it feeds and gratifies my soul.

01:30 I know that sounds corny, but it does.

01:32 It does, because there's nothing like

01:34 that live crowd interaction.

01:36 - But Dwayne wasn't the only WWE alum to make a return.

01:40 Though at first, you may have trouble

01:42 seeing this surprise guest.

01:44 - Hey, there's a guy you can't see here.

01:46 - I can see him.

01:48 [crowd cheering]

01:50 - Oh yeah, John Cena famously defeated The Rock

01:52 at WrestleMania back in 2013.

01:55 - And again, Cena counters!

01:57 AA!

01:58 Power!

01:59 - But this reunion had a much friendlier vibe.

02:02 - I see you trying to smile.

02:04 - I am.

02:06 - Welcome home, come on.

02:08 [crowd cheering]

02:10 - And despite some friendly razzing over the years.

02:15 - Will you beat John Cena at WrestleMania?

02:17 - Like a drum.

02:19 - Dwayne Johnson, if that is your real name.

02:21 [laughing]

02:23 'Cause everybody around the world knows

02:24 that your first name is T, and your last name is He-Rock.

02:27 You just pronounce it all stupid,

02:28 and that gets me even more pissed off.

02:30 [laughing]

02:31 - These pros clearly have a lot of love for each other.

02:34 - Dwayne Johnson is a star in his own universe.

02:38 There's no one like him, there will never be anyone like him.

02:42 - John Cena, man, he's a bad dude.

02:44 He's incredibly strong.

02:45 Yeah, he's amazing.

02:46 - John's even been manifesting Dwayne's WWE return.

02:50 - He's the most electrifying man in sports entertainment.

02:52 So as a fan, do I wanna see one of the greatest performers

02:55 in all time step back in a WWE ring?

02:57 Yeah, but in no way am I gonna call him,

03:00 and if I'm gonna talk to him about something,

03:01 it's not gonna try to be to get him back in the WWE ring.

03:03 He needs to come to that conclusion on it by himself,

03:06 because then his performance will be the rock.

03:08 He'll be the best he can be.

03:10 So I do hope he comes back as a fan,

03:12 and I hope it's wonderful.

03:13 - Say less, John, say less.

03:16 - I see you trying to smile.

03:17 I am.

03:20 Welcome home, come on.

03:22 - Finally, the Rock has come back!

03:25 - He's come back!

03:27 (crowd cheering)

03:30 (audience laughing)
