Dwayne Johnson had been one of the biggest superstars who came out of the WWE universe. The Third generational wrestler, after cementing his position as a company’s top-tier star, went on to establish his name in Hollywood. Despite the fact that he rose to prominence in the late 1990s. Johnson’s meteoric rise as a global phenomenon began in the early 2000s. In addition, during that period, aside from WWE, he appeared on numerous TV shows. One of such was when he went on Saturday Night Live (SNL). 

The Rock gained fame when he first hosted Saturday Night Live. On March 18, 2000, he made his first appearance on Saturday Night Live, alongside WWE stars Triple H, The Big Show, and Mick Foley. These 4 WWE superstars appeared on SNL to promote WrestleMania 16, which took place later that month.

In addition, The Rock was there for his monologue, and while he was hosting Hunter, Big Show, HHH and Foley came in to cheer him on. During his monologue, The Rock referred to the other WWE superstar, which came with him as “Jabronis.”

After that, HHH went on the stage and told, “you know something Rock the whole world knows it. I’m the one who should be hosting this show, I mean, after all, I’m WWF champion. I’m The Game, but you know what, out of respect to the world wrestling federation, I just wanna say this to you break a leg man! Me and the other guys are here for you. Have a great show.”

After best wishes for hosting SNL, Triple H returned. Meanwhile, WWE legends The Big Show and Mick Foley began cheering for The Rock by waving their hands up in the air like real cheerleaders.
