Ongoing: The Rock Returns to Raw and Cuts a Babyface Promo

 On tonight's Raw, The Rock as announced returned to Raw for its Netflix debut. I thought we'd see an arrogant heel promo from him to continue his heel persona as "The Final Boss." The last time we saw The Rock, he was a clear cut heel. He was feuding with the biggest babyface in wrestling in Cody Rhodes and was teaming with the biggest heel in wrestling at the time (sorry MJF) Roman Reigns. 




On tonight's Raw though, The Rock was boosting up Cody Rhodes and gave him some major props for carrying the company over the past year. He also propped up the now babyface Roman Reigns. The crowd was loving The Rock and he wasn't giving them any reason to hate him. He made a joke about being censored to the Co-CEO's of Netflix and the live crowd at the Intuit dome was eating it up. 


It kind of felt like last WrestleMania never happened. He and Cody Rhodes even hugged. I'm putting this as an ongoing story because it's only around 8:30 and that leaves plenty of time for a bait and switch. The Rock comes out later in the show as a heel again. Perhaps even during this Tribal Combat match between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa. We'll see what happens but please keep following along here and follow me on social media.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

     Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving  WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years.       How t...
