“The Rock Will Be Proud”: Dwayne Johnson Paid an Homage at SummerSlam by an Unexpected Name, Fans Think He Is Returning

WWE wrestlers never fail to pay homage to the greatest stars of the company. The Rock is a favorite when it comes to homage from young superstars who want to prove a point. This SummerSlam was no different. In his opening match against Logan Paul, Ricochet put on a great match while also performing a modified version of The People’s Elbow.

The Rock only had two iconic moves that could never be recreated, neither in energy nor charisma. But this version from the former Intercontinental champion set the arena on fire.
