So, without wasting any time, The Rock revealed the nickname he had thought of for Eli Manning.

“So, we have The Rock [ Dwayne Johnson], we have The Sheriff [Peyton Manning]. Now, we officially have HCM. Human Carbon Monoxide cause he’s the silent killer. You’re welcome.”

Well, Manning sure appreciated the fact that Dwayne Johnson had thought of a nickname for him since he’s not creative enough (that’s what he believes) to do the same for himself.

Currently, Johnson is extremely busy with his schedule. He is working on his businesses, movies, and production company. In fact, at the beginning of 2022, he revealed that huge developments were in motion for all his businesses.

However, among all of this, there is one role that he hasn’t spoken about – being WWE’s The Rock.

So far, the WWE Universe has hoped for him to return every time a PPV came around. This time, it seems like the fans will be happy if he just makes an appearance.

He may not return at the upcoming Royal Rumble event since Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar have different matches. But, WWE is reportedly planning a huge Reigns vs Lesnar match at WrestleMania 38.

Therefore, The Rock could potentially return at WrestleMania 38 or make an appearance during his cousin’s match. While these are all speculations, everything is possible when it comes to WWE!
