When Dwayne Johnson transitioned from ‘Rocky Maivia’ to ‘The Rock’, he began wearing cool, flashy outfits. During that time, he started donning $500 branded shirts every week on the WWE shows. This became his signature look in the Stamford-Best promotion in the late 90s and early 2000s.

After a few years, he transition to wearing normal printed tees to draw in more merchandise sales from the market. It has been quite a while the Johnson‘s iconic $500 branded shirts have been absent from the wrestling universe until now.

A Johnson superfan shared a video on social media wearing his iconic $500 attire from two decades ago, which made its debut in a recent WWE event.

Well, ‘The Great One’ wasn’t present at SummerSlam this year like the WWE Universe predicted, but at least his $500 shirt was.

Johnson was rumored to appear at SummerSlam

Rumors of Johnson’s WWE return have been floating around the internet for quite a while now. Recently, the wrestling icon was involved in an online feud with new-and-upcoming WWE talent, Grayson Waller. Waller, in-attempt to display his typical heel behavior, berated Johnson multiple times on social media.

This led the WWE Universe to believe that ‘The People’s Champion’ might make an appearance at SummerSlam to shut Waller up for good. Additionally, with The Bloodline drama and Tribal Combat featuring Roman Reigns vs Jey Uso, fans were hoping that he might step up to control the family situation.

However, none of this happened at ‘The Biggest Party of the Summer’ and fans were disappointed again. Surely, the fans feel disheartened, but they still have hope. They believe that sooner or later, he will return to his old home and the wrestling aficionados are eagerly waiting for that day.
