The Rock expressed gratitude for his first-day experience performing in front of the crowd, going above and beyond the previously circulated CM Punk return film.

“With the people I will always honor, I have had over 25 years of sacred connection.”
“It was like a different eruption at the end.” Some really loud crowd pops have happened to me before, but this one was unique. strata. Feels cold.
