Netflix debut of WWE Raw, featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena’s memorable appearances.
The Rock opened the first-ever WWE RAW segment on Netflix, starting with Triple H’s iconic line, “Are you ready?” Then, with the lights dimmed, The Rock made a grand entrance to roaring applause from the fans in the stadium, leaving them awestruck.
During his entrance, the Rock praised Cody Rhodes for his contributions to advancing WWE Raw. He has been carrying WWE on his back since last year. He has done an amazing job. Cody Rhodes, thank you, brother,” he acknowledged. This heartfelt moment led to a warm embrace between the two, stirring emotions among the viewers who appreciate their strong camaraderie.

Despite the general applause, some fans criticized The Rock, calling his appearance “boring.” On social media, several users voiced their dissatisfaction, comparing his current persona unfavourably with his more dynamic ’90s style. “The Rock is boring now. In the 90s, he had an attitude. Now it’s just Netflix appreciation society and meaningless platitudes,” commented a user on X.
