This past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw featured the Day 1 theme from the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, CA, with several notable matches, including World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins defending against Drew McIntyre and Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley defending against Ivy Nile. Nothing was bigger than The Rock’s surprise appearance.
The appearance
Rock made the appearance to do a segment with Jinder Mahal after Mahal was revealed as the former WWE Champion who was going to appear on the show before teasing a potential match with Roman Reigns.
Coming out of the show, there were photos going around on social media with The Rock hanging out with Ripley to the point where Rock has publicly commented.
Praise
The Rock took to Instagram, where he put over the young WWE star by writing:
“She wears black. I love black. She’s a bad ass. And I got famous for wearing a fanny pack. We had fun f*cking around backstage —-Love, appreciate and respect you champ @rhearipley_wwe – thanks for trusting me with your title, keep kickin’ ass and raising the bar ——Big shout to @cathykelley for being a total pro and having fun — —-#peopleschamp.”
