Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, a prominent personality in sports entertainment, played the villain on a recent edition of Friday Night Smackdown, leaving fans enthralled and clamouring for more.
Last month, the renowned 10-time WWE world champion put on his villain mask and executed a complete heel turn, capturing the attention of wrestling fans around the world.
Johnson spoke openly on Jimmy Kimmel Live about the intense fan reaction to his makeover.
Johnson embraced his new persona and expressed his joy at returning to the WWE stage in what he labeled the “Rock 10.0 version,” which gave him the opportunity to embody a character who openly speaks his views. In wrestling terms, a heel turn is a move from heroic to villainous.
Despite the change from his customary heroic attitude, fans warmly supported The Rock’s wicked actions. In a video clip shared during the interview, Johnson described how the audience erupted in screams and clapping as he playfully antagonized them in character.
Johnson recalls delivering incisive remarks that enthralled the audience as he teased and taunted them with his customary wit and charm. Notably, his statement that “every woman in here wants to go one-on-one with The Rock” prompted a thundering response, adding to the frenzy.
