Dwayne Johnson has announced a surprise return to WWE. "Bold and disruptive. Unpredictable and dangerous. The Final Boss returns," Johnson, 52, teased via X on Thursday, February 20.

Many other regions outside of the United States can watch the show on Netflix. WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus is scheduled to make an appearance. Stratus is a Toronto native.

Dwayne Johnson flexed his power in front of Cody Rhodes, but could name-dropping Ari Emanuel in the middle of it all body-slam his PR?
