The Rock is back in WWE and he’s likely back to have one more match!
This week’s “Day 1” edition of RAW drew 1.75 million viewers with a 0.60 rating in the 18-49 demo, which is up from last week’s 698,000 viewers with a 0.18 rating for the 2023 highlight show.
The Rock’s return segment on TV drew 2.15 million viewers with a 0.79 rating in the 18-49 demo (which equals to 1 million viewers in the 18-49 age group), which is a number that RAW hasn’t done in a while.
After laying out former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal, Rock teased going after Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns by saying that he wants to sit at the Head of the Table.
WWE is now reporting that The Rock broke their all-time social media record by drawing over 171 million views on all social media platforms combined for his return.
On tonight’s SmackDown, Paul Heyman was asked to comment on The Rock calling out Roman Reigns on RAW. Heyman said Rock isn’t invited to the Head of the Table, but he knows why The Great One called out The Tribal Chief.
Heyman said there’s two sure ways to go viral in the world – date Taylor Swift and call out Roman Reigns. He mentioned how John Cena and Brock Lesnar returned and targeted Roman in the past after Roman won a match.
He also mentioned how CM Punk has already called out Reigns. Heyman also said “welcome back” while talking about Punk. Heyman then showed frustration about Cody Rhodes still talking about “finishing his damn story” despite losing at WrestleMania 39.
Heyman ended his promo by saying that Reigns will smash whoever wins the No.1 Contenders match later tonight.
