In a galvanizing moment, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made a thunderous entrance on Monday Night RAW, sending shockwaves through the WWE Universe.
Rhodes’ Triumph Interrupted
As Cody Rhodes savored the sweet taste of victory after dethroning Roman Reigns to become the new WWE Undisputed Universal Champion, The Rock emerged from the shadows, casting a long shadow over Rhodes’s moment of glory.
Philadelphia’s Hostility
The Rock’s presence incited a torrent of booing from the unforgiving Philadelphia crowd, who made their feelings known with thunderous chants of “Shut the f— up.” The fans’ ire was further fueled by chants of The Undertaker, who had made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania 40, delivering a crushing choke-slam to The Rock.
An Enigmatic Message
Despite the hostile reception, The Rock delivered a cryptic message to Rhodes. He declared that their story was far from over, but that he must retreat into the shadows for now. Before leaving the ring, The Rock handed Rhodes a mysterious object, which “The American Nightmare” swiftly tucked away without revealing its contents.
A Match on the Horizon
The Rock’s actions left the WWE Universe buzzing with anticipation. The enigmatic object and The Rock’s enigmatic words hinted at a future showdown between the two larger-than-life gladiators, likely to occur before the end of the year.
Historic Sellouts Continue
Monday’s RAW marked a milestone in WWE history, extending the streak of televised sellouts to an unprecedented 17 consecutive events. The show broke the previous record set last week at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
