The Rock made a show-stealing appearance on the highly anticipated Netflix debut of Raw this week. While the WWE Universe greeted him with a thunderous ovation, his actions left fans puzzled about his character’s direction. The Final Boss, known for his heated rivalry with Cody Rhodes, shockingly buried the hatchet on Raw, derailing an entire year-long buildup to their anticipated showdown.
During his appearance on NXT’s New Year’s Evil, The Rock directly addressed the criticism he has been receiving from fans. Acknowledging the backlash, he stated that while the WWE Universe might complain and whine about his actions, he is always twenty steps ahead and knows exactly what he’s doing. Declaring himself “The Final Boss,” The Great One confidently advised fans to stay calm and enjoy the ride.

Interestingly, the High Chief Seiuli not only buried the hatchet with Cody Rhodes but also reaffirmed Roman Reigns as the rightful Tribal Chief. Before Raw’s Netflix debut, speculation was rife that either Roman or Cody could face The Rock at WrestleMania. However, with no clear storyline left to build upon, this unexpected turn of events leaves fans wondering how this moment will shape future narratives.
The Rock endorses Ava as the “Final Boss” on NXT
The Rock made a commanding appearance at NXT’s New Year’s Evil last night, engaging with several superstars, including his daughter Ava and former NXT Champion Ethan Page. In a standout moment, The Great One proudly endorsed his daughter as “The Final Boss” of NXT, solidifying her presence as a key player in the brand’s future.
In a backstage segment, The Rock confronted Page over his unhinged antics in NXT’s developmental territory. The Great One acknowledged Page’s potential, expressing his eagerness to see him thrive on the main roster one day. However, he made it clear that as long as Page remains on NXT, he must respect the authority of GM Ava, declaring her “The Final Boss” of the brand.
I am the final boss, like the final final boss, but on this show NXT, she’s the final boss.

In the presence of a TKO board member, All Ego had no choice but to agree to follow GM Ava’s directions. The segment masterfully showcased The Great One’s larger-than-life persona while simultaneously elevating his daughter’s status within NXT. Although Page appeared to align with Ava for now, it remains to be seen how long this uneasy alliance will last.
