The Rock's return to WWE in 2011 will always be iconic

12 years ago already man, more time has passed since this return than when he originally left for Hollywood to this return, crazy!

SERÁ CUESTIÓN DE TIEMPO 🤷‍♂️ 'El patrón' habló de la llegada de @PENTAELZEROM a la WWE y mencionó que la llegada de @ReyFenix llegará. Te dejamos las declaraciones. 👇 #WWE #PentaZeroMiedo #ReyFenix

They did that so incredibly well. Didn’t rush it. Lights out, slowly. So incredibly well done

Remember folks were worried it was Bieber 😂

@KimiMtz17 Goosebumps

Was this kept under wraps from the internet? I wasn’t on Twitter at the time.

Yes it was iconic but extremely disappointing and annoying that he lied to everyone after giving his word he was never ever going away. “I give you my word, I am never ever going away.” How long did that last?

The exact moment where you knew Miz was going to be the third wheel in a feud for his own damn title.

I remember tuning in and thinking “haven’t watch wwe in a while let’s see wassup tonight” then this happened I absolutely marked out 😂

🐐

I remember watching this back in middle school, woke up my grandparents lol

Now his entire gimmick in WWE is “I’m back but not really” every couple years

On Valentine’s Day too I think. I didn’t have a date, this was the highlight of my day 🫠

I might of been tapped out of wrestling at this time lol.. whenever Shawn Michaels retired

Love that there wasn't even a peep from commentary, Cole's "OH MY! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" would've utterly ruined the moment

I was there! Anaheim Feb 14, 2011! Epic moment forsure. The environment was… electrifying. The pop was great

“FINALLY THE ROCK HAS COME BACK…… home.”

Imagine a dude at home, tired af after work watching Raw as a jaded fan. And then this happens. Jumped out of my chair 💺

Sadly, The Rock didn’t return that night, Dwayne Johnson did.

I was there that day Anaheim CA.

Actual goosebumps watching this. So simple yet so effective @skreft84

@rulimagallanes

We jumped so high someone fell off the balcony to the first floor. People were so excited for his return🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“The rock is back and he’s never leaving again! And then he left…again!”

@danielbailey09

Rock coming out to help Mick Foley against the French tag team will be the greatest

That pop! Amazing!

This was awesome but I was hoping at the time it was Sting! And I thought for a minute it could have been

He should’ve returned with Hollywood Rock music

I remember at the time, the big rumor was that it was going to be Justin Bieber.

Real shh

This was in Anaheim, I had thought about going since I’d never been to a live show before. Was a broke college student at the time and decided against spending the money. I’ve never stopped regretting that decision.

Ngl I just got chills with that pop
