53-time WWE champion meets The Rock "for first time," shares on social media

R-Truth celebrated what he claimed was his first encounter with The Rock during WWE RAW’s Netflix premiere. The veteran performer shared a photo of their backstage meeting, expressing excitement about meeting his “childhood hero” John Cena’s former rival.

Addressing fans on social media, R-Truth wrote:

When I was a kid, I grew up watching my childhood hero @JohnCena have countless battles with @TheRock…I finally had a chance to meet #Thefinalboss 🙌🏾, 🤔 name this team

When fans pointed out their previous encounter at Survivor Series 2011, where R-Truth teamed with The Miz against Cena and The Rock, Truth maintained his stance by suggesting that wasn’t actually him.

The Rock’s NXT Appearance Draws Fan Attention

Following his RAW appearance, The Rock visited NXT on January 7, addressing criticism of his recent interaction with Cody Rhodes. During his promo, a notably unscripted moment occurred when he appeared to lose his train of thought, leading to playful reactions from fans.

The moment prompted viewers to reference his past rivalry with John Cena, where The Rock was famously called out for writing promo notes on his wrist. The Great One recovered from the pause by engaging with the crowd before delivering his signature catchphrase as the broadcast concluded.
