One of the biggest names in the WWE Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson made his jaw-dropping return at the end of the Bad Blood PLE 2024. However, the exact reason for The Final Boss’ surprising return is still unknown. There are talks of him competing at the next month’s Survivor Series PLE.

The Rock has had an amazing career in the WWE since his debut in 1996. He has faced many WWE legends as well as current WWE stars in his illustrious career. Today we look at seven current WWE stars that ‘The Final Boss’ has fought in the ring.

The Rock and Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins

This is the most recent in-ring action for The Final Boss was in the main event of WrestleMania XL. His last fight in the ring was in WrestleMania 32 in 2016.

However, it seems as if The Final Boss has some unfinished business with the WWE Undisputed Champion. Following Rhodes’ victory at Bad Blood 2024 PLE Johnson appeared in the arena and stared down Rhodes.

The Rock & John Cena vs Awesome Truth

Cena and Johnson are two of the biggest rivals in the WWE and never have been on friendly terms with each other. Despite this, the former 16-time WWE Champion Cena picked Johnson as his partner to face the tag team of The Miz and R-Truth, The Awesome Truth.

Throughout the match, the 16-time WWE champion was targeted by the team of Awesome Truth and was almost pinned a couple of times. However, in the closing minutes, The Rock performed a spine buster and followed it up by the People’s Elbow to pin The Miz and bag the victory.
