Corporate Rock showed up on Raw last night with no hints of
The Final Boss and the former WWE champion left the Intuit
Dome with another message: he’ll be at NXT New Year’s Evil
tonight on CW Network and Netflix!

As expected, The Rock kicked off the show last night, coming
out with the People’s Championship which was given to him by
the widow of Muhammad Ali. He gave the title to his two
young daughters who were sitting at ringside along with his
mother, Ata Johnson.

The Rock hugged TKO and Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel before he
got in the ring and put over their Netflix partners, name
dropping each of the executives who were sitting in a suite.

Johnson then said that he needed to thank a couple of people
before the show starts, and one of them is someone who he
spilled blood with in the past and someone who for the past
year has carried the company on his back. That man ended up
being none other than Cody Rhodes.

Rhodes was shown at ringside as he thanked The Rock back for
his words. Rock and Cody had quite the journey last year but
with no Final Boss around, it was all nice and friendly
between the two. Rock told Cody to say hello to Mama Rhodes
for him, which popped the crowd.

Rock also thanked his cousin Roman Reigns who he called the
tribal chief. He said he would be watching the match
considering the family history and the importance of the Ula
Fala and eventually he was the one who put the Ula Fala on
Reigns’ shoulder after Reigns won it back. The two had a
face-to-face but both shook hands and hugged, with Rocky
taking a step back in the corner allowing Reigns to
celebrate in the middle of the ring.

Several video clips that Rock filmed for his Instagram were
later shown during the broadcast, including sharing a drink
with Cody Rhodes backstage, meeting Travis Scott, and then
before he drove off in his truck, he told everyone that
he’ll see them at NXT…tonight!
