Summary

– The Rock’s return to WWE Raw was significant, but the segment went significantly over the planned time.

– In a segment with Jinder Mahal, The Rock initiated “Day One Douche Bag” chants and delivered a spinebuster and People’s Elbow, but there was no time for a Rock Bottom.

– The segment’s overrun required adjustments to the rest of the night’s schedule.

The Rock’s much-anticipated return to WWE Raw this week turned out to be a bigger moment than anyone expected, not just in terms of impact but also in duration. The segment, which featured a back-and-forth with Jinder Mahal, went over the scheduled time by about seven minutes.

During the segment, The Rock engaged the audience with his charismatic presence, leading to “Day One Douche Bag” chants directed at Mahal. The segment culminated with The Rock delivering a spinebuster and his signature move, the People’s Elbow, to Mahal. However, due to time constraints, The Rock needed the opportunity to perform the Rock Bottom.

Sean Sapp of Fightful reported that the overrun of The Rock’s segment necessitated adjustments to the rest of the night’s programming. Despite the timing issue, the segment was a hit with fans and quickly gained traction online. A video of the segment uploaded to YouTube amassed over 1 million views in less than eight hours, highlighting The Rock’s enduring popularity and star power in the wrestling world.

The Rock’s return generated significant attention and interest, and his interaction with Mahal was a WWE Raw Day 1 highlight. Fans eagerly anticipate what’s next for The Rock in WWE, especially considering the massive response to his latest appearance.
