Finally, The Rock will return to “SmackDown.”
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the former WWE superstar and movie megastar, tweeted Monday that he will appear on the debut episode of “SmackDown” on Fox starting at 8 p.m. on Oct 4. The network will also have a blue carpet special at 7:30 p.m.
“FINALLY…I come back home to my @WWE universe,” he wrote on Twitter. “This FRIDAY NIGHT, I’ll return for our debut of SMACKDOWN! LIVE on @FOXTV.There’s no greater title than #thepeopleschamp. And there’s no place like home. Tequila on me after the show.”
It is Johnson’s first appearance on WWE programing since WrestleMania 32 in 2016 and is a huge cue as Fox kicks off the company’s arrival on the network with a show celebrating the 20th anniversary of “SmackDown.”
