The Rock‘s return speculation intensified with multiple social media teases as of late. Finally, it came true when The Great One showed up midway through the episode of Monday Night Raw and launched a serious blow to the anti-American gimmick presented by Jinder Mahal.

Following the boiling segment with Mahal, The Rock produced another stellar showing as he fired off a Roman Reigns reference in his promo. However, that was not all that The Rock did tonight at the red brand. He had a small reunion with Becky Lynch years after their phenomenal in-ring segment in 2019.

The Man and The People’s Champion share a remarkable history. The Rock appeared on the blue brand’s 20th-anniversary show back in October 2019 to elevate Becky Lynch — and beat up Baron Corbin in the process. He celebrated alongside Lynch at the end of a one-of-a-kind segment.

The former Women’s champion talked about that day in several interviews articulating how The Rock made her feel super comfortable around him and how she’s eternally grateful to the legend for that impromptu segment.

It remains to be seen if this duo will engage in another heart-melting segment in the future or not.

However, Becky Lynch endured some tough luck in her first singles match against Nia Jax tonight.

Becky Lynch was left busted wide open on WWE RAW Day 1. While locking horns against The Irresistible Force in the opening match tonight at San Diego, she was seen spewing blood from her mouth, receiving a brutal punch from Jax.

The spot was seemingly a reoccurrence for the similar past event of Nia Jax breaking Becky Lynch’s nose. However, after being beaten up, The Man was spotted in an upset mood sitting alone backstage.
When she was asked about the loss, the former Women’s Champion gave nothing but a rather depressing statement that depicted her fragile mental state. We need to see what awaits The Man next in her future endeavor in the Stamford-based company following a massive setback.
