The Rock’s Top 10 WWE Smackdown Moments

April 9, 2016

The Rock made his return to WWE at WrestleMania 32 along with John Cena, and he literally set Dallas on fire.

He has been dubbed The Great One, The People’s Champion, and The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment. You can love him or hate him, but you can’t deny he is one of the all-time greatest professional wrestlers in history and WWE Smackdown champion (some say maybe the biggest WWE superstar to this day).

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has had a remarkable career on and off WWE so far. The loudmouth Californian is the sixth Triple Crown Champion in WWE history with seventeen championship WWE titles, ten of them as a world champion, and at the same time, he’s a modern era pop icon, making waves as an acclaimed actor and producer. He is known to be a tough nut to crack and someone who always dares to speak his mind, especially when it means smacking down the opponents.

The People’s Champion is an entertainer above anything else, but also an athlete who is dangerous in the ring, and best known for his signature moves The People’s Elbow and The Rock Bottom. Some consider The People’s Elbow to be one of the weakest signature moves in WWE, but even today, whenever The Rock prepares for it, the crowd goes bananas.
