An Electrifying Debut, In Tassels
Nov. 17, 1996

At Survivor Series, inside the same arena where his father Rocky Johnson and grandfather High Chief Pater Maivia performed, Dwayne Johnson, debuts as Rocky Maivia. Alongside Marc Mero (with Sable), Jake Roberts, and The Stalker, he eliminates Goldust and Crush to become the sole survivor of his team in the 4-on-4 encounter, proving to the MSG faithful that he’s a force to be reckoned with.
“Die Rocky Die!”
Feb. 13, 1997

After only three months in WWE, Rocky Maivia faces off against Intercontinental Champion Triple H on a special Thursday night Raw. With the title on the line, Maivia surprises everyone by besting the blueblood for the championship gold. Soon after, the WWE Universe turns on him for accomplishing too much too soon, inciting crowds everywhere to chant, “Die Rocky Die” and “Rocky Sucks.”
The Birth Of The Rock
Aug. 11, 1997

During a match pitting Faarooq against Chainz on Raw, Rocky Maivia returns from injury and delivers a mid-match Rock Bottom to Chainz to help Faarooq claim the victory. After the match, Faarooq and Maivia hug and salute. Rocky is no more; The Rock has arrived and is now a member of the faction known as The Nation of Domination.
Rung By Rung, To The Top
Aug. 30, 1998

The Rock and Triple H – leaders of rival factions The Nation and D-Generation X, respectively – face off in a titanic Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam. The momentum shifts back and forth until Triple H finally climbs the ladder to victory. Even in defeat, The Rock’s fame continues to grow. Soon after this match, The Nation disbands and The Rock again hears the chants, “Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!”
Corporate Sellout
Nov. 15, 1998

Now a fan favorite, The Rock enters the Deadly Game Tournament at Survivor Series for an opportunity to claim the vacant WWE Championship. He defeats Big Boss Man, Ken Shamrock and Undertaker to face Mankind in the finals. But The People’s Champ secretly aligns himself with The Chairman and his Corporation to become “The Corporate Champion.” Why, Rocky? Why?
Brahma Bull vs. Rattlesnake, Part 1
March 28, 1999

At the height of The Attitude Era, The Rock and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin were on a collision course that culminated in their classic match for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania XV. Even though The Rock kicks out of the Stunner (the first Superstar to do so) his efforts simply aren’t enough to retain his title. Incensed, The Rock throws Austin and the Smoking Skull title into the Detroit River two weeks later on Raw.
“This Is Your Life!”
Sept. 27, 1999

Hoping to get on The Great One’s good side, Mankind stages the infamous “This Is Your Life!” segment on Raw. The People’s Champ is introduced to figures from his past, including his high school girlfriend and gym coach, whom he verbally runs down as only The Rock can. Perhaps it was the inclusion of Yurple the Clown that made this one of the highest-rated segments in WWE history.
Rumble Near The Bronx
Jan. 23, 2000

Winning the Royal Rumble Match is an achievement every Superstar must add to his résumé to attain iconic status. As the 24th entrant in the 2000 Rumble, The People’s Champion did just that, eliminating five Superstars—including Big Show, for the win—to score his WWE Championship opportunity at WrestleMania.
Brahma Bull vs. Rattlesnake, Part 2
April 1, 2001

The Great One should have known something was wrong when a No Disqualification stipulation was added right before the start of his WrestleMania X-Seven match against “Stone Cold.” It would take multiple Stunners, chair strikes and an unthinkable alliance with The Chairman for The Texas Rattlesnake to defeat The Great One for the WWE Championship. That’s Austin two, Rock zero at The Show of Shows.
The People’s WCW Champion
Aug. 19, 2001

When The Rock comes back to WWE after filming his first major film role in The Mummy Returns, he’s given a choice: Join The Alliance (the combined invading forces of WCW and ECW) or stick with Team WWE. The Great One chooses the home team and goes on to defeat Booker T for the WCW Championship at SummerSlam — his first of two reigns with that title.
Finally! The Rock Has Returned…
Feb. 14, 2011

Almost seven years after competing in his final match, at WrestleMania XX, The Great One returns to Raw to reveal his hosting duties at WrestleMania XXVII. In a 20-minute live address, he calls out John Cena, setting the stage for the greatest showdown in WWE history.
Boots to @sses
Nov. 14, 2011

Although he’s agreed to face John Cena in the Main Event at WrestleMania XXVIII, The Rock accepts his rival’s offer to team up at Survivor Series against The Awesome Truth. But not before an historic tirade in which he promises to make the phrases #BootsToAsses and #CenasLadyParts trend worldwide in mere minutes. They do.
Never Before, Never Again
Nov. 20, 2011

After a near seven-year absence from in-ring competition, The Rock returns to New York City’s Madison Square Garden to team with a most unlikely partner: John Cena. The pair defeats The Miz and R-Truth in the main event of Survivor Series, but in the fallout, Cena suffers a crushing Rock Bottom at the hands of his own teammate and WrestleMania XXVIII opponent, The Great One.
Once in a Lifetime
April 1, 2012

In his hometown of Miami, The Rock enters The Grandest Stage of Them All with his sights set on John Cena. After a year of trash-talking, the two ring warriors finally clash in an epic and physical battle that leaves the WWE Universe breathless. After a back-and-forth contest, it's The People's Champ who stands tall with his hand raised in victory.
Back on Top
Jan. 27, 2013

At the 2013 Royal Rumble, The Great One brings an end to CM Punk's historic 434 day title reign by beating him with The People's Elbow in the center of the ring. The Straight Edge Superstar had seemingly defeated The Rock after interference from The Shield, but Mr. McMahon restarts the bout, giving The People's Champion the opportunity to win fair and square.
