Finally, The Rock has come back to… to the WWE.
On Sunday, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson announced on Instagram that he’ll be appearing at “Raw” on Monday night at Inglewood’s Intuit Dome.
“Besides having my three daughters, my Samoan High Chief Title, High Chief Seiuli is one of the greatest honors of my life,” he wrote. “I gave my word and made a commitment 20 years ago to His Highness High Chief Maleatoa Tunamafili II and to our people of Samoa, that I would ‘leave my boyish ways behind’ (well, I try) and carry my Samoan, Polynesian, and Black culture around the world with great respect, pride, kindness, MANA, humility, and warrior spirit. Fa’a Samoa (the Samoan way).”
The 68-second Instagram video shows Johnson receiving the honor 20 years ago.
“After 20 years of proudly carrying our culture with me around the world, I can’t wait to soon return back home to Samoa. I already have chills just thinking about it,” he continued.
He then revealed that until that moment comes, he’ll be returning “home” to the WWE on Monday night as the company makes “history on Netflix” and begins a “new and exciting era.”
WWE’s flagship show, “Monday Night Raw” will now be on the streamer after being on cable television for over 30 years.
“Tomorrow night is dedicated to my grandfather, the High Chief Peter Maivia, my grandmother, Lia Maivia and my dad, Rocky ‘Soulman’ Johnson and my ancestors who have ALL paved the way,” he ended his post saying before signing off as “High Chief Seiuli.”
In 2024, Johnson made an electrifying return to the WWE appearing in the main event at Wrestlemania XL in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In addition to his brief return to the ring, last year Johnson was appointed to the board of directors of the TKO Group, which is a publicly traded sports entertainment company comprised of UFC and WWE.
WWE “Monday Night Raw” will take place at the Intuit Dome on Jan. 6 at 4:30 p.m. It will be live on Netflix at 5:00 p.m. PST.
