Black Adam star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has returned to WWE as the villainous "The Final Boss" and teamed with his cousin, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, at WrestleMania last night to do battle with Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.

It proved to be an impressive showing for the Brahma Bull and, despite not wrestling a full match since 2013, he shook off the ring rust (mostly) to prove he still has "it."

The Hollywood A-Lister was put through a table and even inadvertently hit by one of Reigns' Spears, but just as Rhodes was about to win the match, he hit the babyface with his weight belt and picked up the win for his team (with a combination of the Rock Bottom and People's Elbow). 

Now, tonight's title match will be "Bloodline Rules," meaning the odds are stacked against the American Nightmare as he looks to finish his story by becoming WWE Champion.

As we first reported on TheRingReport.com, WrestleMania Night 1 also saw Rhea Ripley retain the Women's World Championship in an impressive showing over Becky Lynch. Things went downhill for The Judgement Day from there, though, as Austin Theory and Grayson Waller won the SmackDown Tag Team Championships in the Six-Pack Ladder Match. 

Making matters worse was the fact the Awesome Truth, The Miz and R-Truth, later won the RAW Tag Team titles, ending the championship's "Undisputed" status. Then, thanks to a helping hand from Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson from the Philadelphia Eagles, Rey Mysterio and Andrade beat Santos Escobar and Dominik Mysterio.

Jey Uso defeated his twin brother, Jimmy Uso, Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair and Naomi vanquished Damage CTRL, and Sami Zayn ended Gunther's 666-day reign as Intercontinental Champion for the biggest feel-good moment of the night.

This has nothing to do with Black Adam other than it was the Rock.

Liking this Wrestlemania so far…

That main event was great and makes me even more convinced that Cody will win the title tonight.

I’m also happy to see them finally split the RAW and Smackdown Tag titles again , it was about time…

Good to see Awesome Truth win the Raw ones and A-Town Down Under win the Smackdown ones (could see the latter feud with Kevin Owens & Randy Orton next due to being in a rivalry with them since Logan Paul will likely beat them both tonight to retain the US title).

Sami vs Gunther was probably one of the best , if not the best match of the night and I’m glad to see Zayn win the IC title but part of me still wishes it was Chad Gable who ended the latter’s near-2 year historic run.

Can’t wait to see how it all ends tonight!!.

@MaxPaint - it’s two nights (4 hours each). I haven’t watched wrestling in 20 years, but this was worth it to get the VPN, buy peacock for a month, and watch this thing.

If the Rock can't make a $300 million Fast n Furious movie without micromanaging each punch to make sure he comes out looking like a badass, does anyone really think he's going to lose in a WWE match?? Are there any stakes whatsoever?

I saw the first three Wrestlemanias and then I didn’t write any articles about them on a comic book movie website because they weren’t comic book movie related.

Must be a slow day in comic book news if we get a wrestling story. I’m sure it’s a repost from the wrestling page…where it belongs! Maybe next we will get a Hulk Hogan story because his name is comic book sounding.
