Corporate Rock kicks off Raw on Netflix

Corporate Rock showed up on Raw last night with no hints of The Final Boss and the former WWE champion left the Intuit Dome with another message: he’ll be at NXT New Year’s Evil tonight on CW Network and Netflix!

As expected, The Rock kicked off the show last night, coming out with the People’s Championship which was given to him by the widow of Muhammad Ali. He gave the title to his two young daughters who were sitting at ringside along with his mother, Ata Johnson.

The Rock hugged TKO and Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel before he got in the ring and put over their Netflix partners, name dropping each of the executives who were sitting in a suite.

Johnson then said that he needed to thank a couple of people before the show starts, and one of them is someone who he spilled blood with in the past and someone who for the past year has carried the company on his back. That man ended up being none other than Cody Rhodes.

Rhodes was shown at ringside as he thanked The Rock back for his words. Rock and Cody had quite the journey last year but with no Final Boss around, it was all nice and friendly between the two. Rock told Cody to say hello to Mama Rhodes for him, which popped the crowd.

Rock also thanked his cousin Roman Reigns who he called the tribal chief. He said he would be watching the match considering the family history and the importance of the Ula Fala and eventually he was the one who put the Ula Fala on Reigns’ shoulder after Reigns won it back. The two had a face-to-face but both shook hands and hugged, with Rocky taking a step back in the corner allowing Reigns to celebrate in the middle of the ring.

Several video clips that Rock filmed for his Instagram were later shown during the broadcast, including sharing a drink with Cody Rhodes backstage, meeting Travis Scott, and then before he drove off in his truck, he told everyone that he’ll see them at NXT…tonight!
