WWE released unseen backstage footage of The Rock congratulating newly-crowned NXT Champion Oba Femi. The interaction took place following Femi’s victory in a Triple Threat match against Trick Williams and Eddy Thorpe on last week’s NXT.
The celebration occurred shortly before The Final Boss made his entrance to address the NXT crowd. WWE NXT’s official social media shared the backstage moment:
Oba Femi 🤝 The Rock. Just the #WWENXT Champion chopping it up with The People’s Champion! 🙌.
The Rock’s busy schedule during RAW on Netflix
The Great One maintained an active presence during WWE RAW’s Netflix premiere on January 6. WWE released exclusive photos showing The Rock’s backstage interactions with CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, The Undertaker, and Nia Jax.
These meetings carried extra weight given The Rock’s history with several of the superstars, particularly his 2013 rivalry with CM Punk and recent confrontations with Cody Rhodes leading to their WrestleMania XL tag team match.
