Well, folks, finally, The Rock has come back… and also gotten a little lost. After WWE’s Bad Blood event, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made a surprise backstage appearance, delivering one of his signature promos that somehow involved threatening Roman Reigns, hyping Cody Rhodes, fist-bumping construction workers, and—naturally—getting disoriented in the WWE parking lot. The man may be a legend in the ring, but apparently, even legends can struggle with the labyrinth that is backstage WWE.

The Return of The Rock: Fire, Heat, and… Heaven?

Taking to Instagram to give fans a behind-the-scenes look at his return, Johnson kicked things off by referring to himself as the Final Boss—a title only The Rock could give himself and make it sound completely normal. “Is the Final Boss pissed? Is he happy? Is he somewhere down the middle?” he teased, while casually wandering through the backstage area, looking like the coolest guy to ever not know where he was going.

He had some strong words about the last six months of WWE, hinting that there’s been a whole lot of “bulls***” going on. As he navigated the chaos, he fist-bumped a few construction workers—because even while lost, The Rock has time for the working man.

Awkwardness + Charisma = The Rock

In true Rock fashion, he managed to charm his way through security, joking that he’d introduce a guard to his nonexistent sister. We’re pretty sure by now, even not having a sister becomes cool when you’re The Rock. As he continued his backstage adventure, Johnson promised that, when he was good and ready, he’d let everyone know how he really felt about Bad Blood.

“But what’s happening right here, this, this is heaven,” Rock declared—clearly unaware he was about to end up in a WWE parking lot wonderland where heaven looks like a maze of tour buses.

A Stroll Down Memory Lane… and Into the Parking Lot

On his way to getting lost, Johnson made time to pay tribute to the legends. He patted a graphic of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, promising him a tequila and a beer (because, priorities). He also honored Dusty Rhodes, calling the American Dream one of his heroes. But, in true Rock fashion, he couldn’t resist taking a jab at John Cena’s graphic, which was apparently deserving of some brief trash talk before his detour into the WWE parking lot.

And then… he was lost. But hey, if you’re going to get lost, why not do it while looking like you own the place?

There’s no word yet on when Johnson will be gracing WWE programming again, but one thing’s for sure—when he does, he’ll bring the heat. And maybe next time, a map.

I like ice cream, taking a back seat, wondering who I am, and pretending kayfabe is real. May or may not be the Real Dark Brandon. For the LOLZ. MALARKEY!
