Turned the wrestling world upside down with a tremendous display of power, The Rock exploded with brutality as Raw approached its close. The old-school ways, when WWE shows were exempt from PG rating, were followed by the crowd as the ring’s canvas was splashed with the blue-tinged blood.

On the other hand, the disorder did not liquidate with the last bell strike. The Rock showed canny defiance toward the power that be and availed himself of social media to announce that he was still at it thus the producers stepped in to ensure that the show couldn’t go on. These activities became his open confrontation of what he considered as the suffocating procedural acts and a bunch of ‘bulls**t’ rules that fettered him.

The Rock’s defiance is characterized by an unyielding urge to live life his way and make no compromises to subordination to external constraints. Not following the rules of society, this notorious guy rejects his fate and serves as a symbol of disobedience, a guiding light of personal independence within the enormous ocean of conformity.

The implications of The Rock’s actions continued to ring up and down the wrestling hallways adding questions and ideas about his true goals. For some, he was a fighter for freedom who believed in the right to self-determination, while others defended order and upheld established rules and etiquette as they should be.

Amidst all this controversy, The Rock’s portrayal as a villain or heel has reignited fans and critics with the nostalgia of the Attitude Era, for those who don’t know about the Attitude Era, it was a time in the WWE when characters’ promos were filled with raw intensity and unfiltered edginess. Booker T acknowledged The Rock’s impact in stirring up buzz for the upcoming WrestleMania 40 and heightened the anticipation and excitement surrounding the upcoming events.
