Top 8 Rivals of The Rock's WWE Career

"STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN  The Texas Rattlesnake was the greatest arch-nemesis of The Great One. They fought at three different WrestleManias to sudden claasics.

JOHN CENA  Rock and Cena were engaged in a rivalry to ponder for years to come. Both men went back and forth during that phase and eventually developed a mutual respect for one another.

CM PUNK Punk was The Rock's greatest modern day rival. At Elimination Chamber 2013, The Great One captured the WWE Championship from him.

HULK HOGAN  In a battle of Legend vs. Icon, Rock and Hogan went to insane heights during their feud. At WrestleMania 18, The People's Champ defeated The Hulkster in an epic battle.

CHRIS JERICHO Back in the day, Rock and Jericho fought many times over the WCW and Undisputed Championships around 2001-02. Out of their frequent encounters, The Rock faired better. 

KURT ANGLE  At WWE No Mercy 2000, Kurt Angle defeated The Rock for the WWE Championship. He then went on an all-timer run with that strap. Later during a match on SmackDown, the Olympic Gold Medalist made The Great One submit to his Ankle Lock.

MANKIND  Foley and Rock were rivals turned allies. During the Corporation days, they kept chasing each other over the WWE Title. Later on, they formed a tag-team known as The Rock 'n' Sock Connection.

TRIPLE H  The 14-time World Champion is quite obviously an iconic opponent of The Rock. They too fought over the WWE and Intercontinental Championships on many PPVs.

THE BIG SHOW  He was involved in a controversial scenario with The Rock. After a highly debatable Royal Rumble match win in 2000, The Rock and Big Show were involved in a Fatal-4-way match at WrestleMania.
