You never know what you’re going to see on a Tuesday night. I love it.”

The Rock, who was in Los Angeles for the Golden Globes and WWE RAW’s Netflix premiere, made his presence felt throughout the night. After supporting his daughter Ava, the current General Manager of NXT, The Rock delivered a show-stopping promo to close the night and even had a backstage interaction with Ethan Page, further elevating the episode.

Williams’ comments reflect the pride and enthusiasm within the NXT roster, as the brand continues to cement itself as a must-watch program in WWE’s lineup. The Rock’s appearance highlights the growing importance of NXT and its ability to attract top-tier talent and legendary figures.
