If there isn’t at least one “it doesn’t matter what move you make” and a stunner after The Rocn says checkmate, then this was a waste of time.

The above reactions are the proof that The Rock and Austin can still sell the entire arena if they plan to have a return together. They last wrestled in 2003 at WrestleMania 19, which was The Rattlesnake’s last match before he returned to wrestle Kevin Owens this year at WrestleMania 38.
