The multi-time WWE Champion and Hollywood superstar Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson made his return to WWE during Friday night's FOX SmackDown Live premiere.

The opening segment of the show featured The Rock and Becky Lynch sharing the ring with Baron Corbin. As you'd expect, "The Man" and "The Great One" came out on the winning side, with Rock giving Corbin both a People's Elbow and Rock Bottom.

To say the WWE Universe was thrilled to see Dwayne Johnson back in a WWE ring would be an understatement.

Feel That Electricity

Dear @TheRock,

We missed your electricity.

Thanks,
Fans #SmackDown #WWE
