Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and John Cena unexpectedly crossed paths more than 10 years after their legendary set of WrestleMania matches. The face-to-face took place Friday night on WWE SmackDown following surprise appearances by The Rock and Pat McAfee in the show's opening segment.
McAfee, who previously worked as a WWE commentator and part-time wrestler, opened the show without prior advertisement. McAfee was cut off by former United States champion Austin Theory, leading to a verbal back and forth. The brash, young Theory found himself at a disadvantage after McAfee introduced the evening's second surprise, The Rock.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson stepped into a WWE ring Friday night for the first time since 2019 and gave everyone a show. Johnson was in Boulder, Colorado, earlier in the day on "The Pat McAfee Show.

Johnson stood on the stage for well over a minute to soak in the boisterous crowd, and high-fived some fans as he made his way to the ring. He even took a selfie with fans.
When his music stopped, chants of "Rocky" rolled through the crowd. But that didn't stop Theory from taking his shots at The Rock, both on the mic and then with his fists. That only lasted a few seconds.
