Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has confirmed that he will be in the house for WWE Raw's debut on Netflix.

In a post on social media, Johnson wrote:

"Besides having my three daughters, my Samoan High Chief Title, High Chief Seiuli, is one of the greatest honors of my life. I gave my word and made a commitment 20 years ago to His Highness High Chief Maleatoa Tunamafili II and to our people of Samoa that I would "leave my boyish ways behind" (well, I try) and carry my Samoan, Polynesian, and Black culture around the world with great respect, pride, kindness, MANA, humility, and warrior spirit. Fa'a Samoa (the Samoan way). After 20 years of proudly carrying our culture with me around the world, I can't wait to soon return back home to Samoa. I already have chills just thinking about it. Until then, I'll come back home to WWE tomorrow night as we make history on Netflix and begin a new era. Tomorrow night is dedicated to my grandfather, the High Chief Peter Maivia, my grandmother, Lia Maivia, and my dad, Rocky 'Soulman' Johnson, and my ancestors who have ALL paved the way. ~ High Chief Seiuli".

According to Sportskeeda's Dr. Chris Featherstone, The Rock will be cutting a promo on the show. This will be his first in-person WWE appearance since Bad Blood (on October 5).

Also appearing on tonight's Raw will be John Cena, who will reportedly be cutting a promo to hype his 2025 farewell tour (per Featherstone).

WWE higher-ups are expecting The Rock to have a match at WrestleMania 41, while Cena vs. Cody Rhodes is currently scheduled for the show.
