Wrestling fans, you would know by now that WWE has helped catapulted many wrestlers into superstardom, with some of them becoming Hollywood stars over the years.

And one of those wrestlers is Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, who’s arguably the most famous wrestler-turned-actor of all time.

Fans now get to see him more on the silver screens rather in the ring, but if you miss the good old days of seeing The Rock giving eyebrow-raising smackdowns to his opponents, we’ve got great news for you.

The Rock has recently announced that he’ll be returning to ‘WWE Smackdown’ on Friday, 4 October.

FINALLY...I come back home to my @WWE universe. This FRIDAY NIGHT, I’ll return for our debut of SMACKDOWN! LIVE on @FOXTV. I’ve been quite the lucky SOB to have such a transcendent career above and well beyond my wildest of dreams. I’ve been blessed with many honors over the years, but none greater than that of being #thepeopleschamp. And there’s no place like home. Tequila on me after the show ?? #IfYaSmell? #Smackdown #RocksShow #FOX LIVE THIS FRIDAY NIGHT!
