After 6 years years, Finally … The Rock is coming back to the WWE.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will make his first appearance on the weekly show Smackdown, which is named after one of Johnson’s catchphrases when he was a WWE star. After spending the last nine years on cable (Syfy from 2010-15 and USA from 2016 until last week), the show will debut Friday on Fox.
The Fast and Furious and Ballers star announced his return on Twitter,
FINALLY…I come back home to my @WWE universe.
This FRIDAY NIGHT, I’ll return for our debut of SMACKDOWN!
LIVE on @FOXTV.
There’s no greater title than #thepeopleschamp.
And there’s no place like home.
