What is the origin of the eyebrow raise meme?

The one eyebrow meme of Dwayne Johnson has indeed become a cultural icon as of now. For those who don’t know what this is, The Rock’s Eyebrow Raise is a series of response videos in which actor and former professional wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson raises his brow while doing the Vine Thud. Users matched the reactions, which were intended to communicate suspicion, with other “suspicious” films to create 21st Century Humor memes, which originally gained popularity in March 2021 and saw a large increase in September 2021.
