Dwayne Johnson is back in WWE, not just as a board member of the TKO group but as a wrestler on the main roster. Though his stay will be short, he is cooking something delicious within the limited time he has in the promotion. After receiving hate from fans over his SmackDown segment last week, he turned heel to close the WrestleMania 40 kick-off press conference. But immediately after leaving Cody Rhodes and WWE fans in a chaotic state, Dwayne Johnson was spotted enjoying his time at a party.

Along with the pictures, Rubin had a special message for his guests and fans. He wrote in the caption, “Love hosting rockstar crew of changemakers from sports, entertainment, business and culture at our annual Super Bowl luncheon with Casey Wasserman!! So cool to see this many leaders from all different industries come together and share ideas.” The Rock commented, “❤️❤️👊🏾🥃🥃”
Rubin is known for his parties which involve celebrities from the entertainment, business, and sports worlds. While The Rock was present at the party, SmackDown was taking place nearly 1000 miles away in Birmingham, Alabama. It explains why The Rock wasn’t available on this week’s episode of SmackDown after his chaotic face-off against Cody Rhodes on Thursday.

WWE held a press conference at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas to kick off their journey to WrestleMania XL. While fans were ready to boo The Rock, he showed signs of his heel turn during his interview with Pat McAfee. While on the stage, he did not hesitate to slap Cody Rhodes after The American Nightmare insulted Roman Reigns.
The Rock is a member of the legendary Anoa’i family while Roman Reigns is acting as The Tribal Chief. So, the two superstars took the onus upon themselves to salvage their tribe’s pride. Well, now it’s up to Reigns to defend his tribe’s pride when he faces Rhodes at WrestleMania XL main event.
