The Mauga spray effectively captures the essence of The Rock’s trademark move, creating a delightful reference for players. Beyond the iconic eyebrow gesture, The Rock and Mauga share other commonalities, including impressive tattoos and Samoan heritage. The Rock embraces his Samoan culture in wrestling and films, a theme reflected in Mauga. 

Emotes like the Pec Dance pay homage to The Rock’s iconic moves from Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Meanwhile, another emote nods to professional wrestling poses, reinforcing the shared wrestling background between Mauga and The Rock.

Overwatch 2 highlights this connection, even if the Mauga Back Flex emote draws inspiration from the broader world of professional wrestling, not directly linked to The Rock.

Anticipation for additional Mauga cosmetics infused with The Rock’s influence

As Blizzard enhances Overwatch 2, the subtle nod to The Rock with Mauga’s eyebrow spray suggests the potential for more cosmetics inspired by the iconic figure. This delightful addition not only accurately captures The Rock’s signature expression, but also pays tribute to his cultural contributions. 

Overwatch 2’s acknowledgment and celebration of the crossover between gaming and pop culture icons, with the possibility of future Rock-inspired cosmetics, continue to impress players.
