The excitement was palpable as Johnson verbally finished Austin Theory with his trademark insults. To put the final stamp, the megastar then belted the young star with his classic Spinebuster, followed by the People’s Elbow to send the fans into a frenzy.

Thanking the fans, “People’s champ” took to his X handle in the tweet below:
Wow thank you so much @WWE universe. It’s always my honor and privilege to come home.
