World Wrestling Entertainment is rushing to get footage from Dwayne Johnson's return up on Youtube right now I am told. The company is expecting a ton of media attention over the next few days based on his return to the company.
The photo Johnson Tweeted a few hours ago was from a promo he cut for WWE.com that is now playing on their website.
Johnson is the top trending topic on Twiter currently.
The entire segment and promo featuring his return to Raw was nothing short of awesome. Go out of your way to see it. Interesting to note that other than the first use of the word "ass" by Johnson, nothing from his full blown Rock promo shtick were censored by WWE or the USA Network
Steve Corino: "Now THAT is a pop. Wrestling MISSED The Rock. WOW, I wish the Rock would have shot that promo in the 9pm hour. Now I am up past my bedtime. Night everyone. LOVED Raw (- Cole)."
Jim Ross: "The Great One is back 4 WM27! The Rock will host Wrestlemania. He looks awesome. Dwayne Johnson's classic 'Rock' promo 2nite on RAW was the best thing on RAW in recent memory. Young wrestlers hopefully paid attention."
Shane Helms: "The Rock said f*** PG!! Lol I loved that promo!"
The Blue Meanie: "MAN! The WWE knows how to MAKE moments! It was great to see The Rock tonite!"
Melina: "It was extraordinary to see The Rock come back. WOW. Hope everyone enjoyed Valentines Day!"

Big Show "Did anyone notice the chill bumps on Rocks arms as he gave his catch phrase? The rock is back!"
Val Venis "I am just as happy as anyone else the Rock is back. As long as he sticks to the mic, we are good. Cuz his wrestling ability is questionable. Not hating on Rock. He is AWESOME on the mic. His charisma is unmatched. But lets be honest, Rock>Hardy & Venis>Rock! HONESTLY!"
