Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has made a dramatic return to WWE.
The former wrestler-turned-actor appeared at Raw on Monday (January 1), making a comeback amid recent rumours.
During Raw, the show teased a former champion returning to the fray, though expectant fans were somewhat confused when Jinder Mahal walked out.

However, The Rock then made a surprise appearance after all, laying down Mahal in the ring before speaking to the audience.
"I'm going to get something to eat," he began. "When The Rock goes out to get something to eat tonight in San Diego, should the The Rock sit in a booth or should The Rock sit at the bar... or should The Rock sit at the head of the table?"
He then screamed his iconic catchphrase: "If you smell what the Rock is cooking!"

Johnson previously teased a potential return last month after meeting a young fan for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
"Jayden is 15 and he’s awesome!!" Johnson captioned a photo with the youngster. "Jayden’s wish was to meet, 'the People’s Champ'.
"He is a HUUUUUGE ROCK & pro wrestling fan and we had a BLAST chopping up his favourite wrestlers and matches!! I LOVE pro wrestling so my time with Jayden was super dope!
"I told him a little secret that may or may not involve some dude returning to WWE to lay the SmackDown on all their candy asses. There’s a lot of negative and toxic noise out there in the world - but there’s a lot of positive, good things too, and Jayden is one of them."
