New Delhi: The WWE fans are in for a big night as The Rock has officially announced his return to Friday Night SmackDown in New Orleans. The WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H also confirmed his return to the event.
This week’s SmackDown is already packed with a high-profile six-man tag team match with Cody Rhodes, Braun Strowman, and Damian Priest facing Tonga Loa, Jacob Fatu, and Solo Sikoa. Now, with The Rock in the mix, the stakes just got even bigger.
The Final boss is back
The last time The Rock made an appearance on the WWE was on January 6, when he helped launch WWE Raw’s Netflix era. He opened the show with a promo to celebrate the big move and after that also closed it by acknowledging Roman Reigns as the Tribal Chief, a moment that left WWE Universe and fans buzzing.
Bold and disruptive.

He is considered one of the biggest celebrities in the World and his journey to stardom started with his tenure in the WWE during the Attitude Era. The Rock became part of the TKO Board of Directors and was a big part of the road to WrestleMania this year. His new association with the company led to a belief among fans that he will be part of the WrestleMania this year.
His announcement comes as a huge shocker for the Universe and the fans as most of them possibly left all their hopes to see The Rock. As per the previous reports, The Rock turned down the offer to work WrestleMania 41. He was upset with the news outlet who reported that news. Many WWE fans wanted to see the dream showdown between Roman Reigns and The Rock at the WrestleMania. With his announcement of returning to the WWE SmackDown, there is still some hope among fans.
