“I met her earlier, I told her how inspired I was by her story. She is a survivor, she has fought for her life, she has inspired her family and friends. Now, you guys here. The world that is watching. Thank you. I just want to tell you that, one of my favourite quotes, ‘The service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.’ I wanna tell you how much you’ve inspired me and everyone around you. I wanna give you this, because you represent everything it means to be a People’s Champion.”

He handed over his award to Shushana as the entire auditorium cheered for him and The People’s Warrior!

When is The Rock coming back to WWE?

‘The Great One’ left the WWE Universe quite a while back, and everyone has wondered if he will ever come back. Just when the hopes were fading, WWE started bringing back megastars such as Brock Lesnar and John Cena.

So, the next best person to bring back who will gather a pop as large as that of Lesnar and Cena, if not larger, is The Rock. Unfortunately, The Rock cannot commit to a long-term return because of his other schedules.
