With many a fan simply frothing at the mouth to see their Tribal Chief finally collide with a certain Great One on The Grandest Stage of Them All, the events that unfolded following arguably the most despised Rumble result of all time feel like they could've gone down in a completely different timeline.

But they most definitely did not and the record will always show that even the seemingly unflappable Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson had to take a second to pinch himself at the reality he'd been exposed to back in January 2015.

Hot on the heels of helping his cousin Roman Reigns see off The Authority and pick up a supposedly heroic babyface victory in the titular match, a sea of boos washed over the Samoan titans as Rocky attempted to give the next generation his glowing endorsement.

Cue a look of sheer bewilderment on Rock's face as he struggled to think of a way to salvage the clear rejection of the pair (or more specifically Roman) in this moment. When a talent who has pretty much seen and done it all can't hide the shock at the authentically hostile reception he's receiving, you know you've done something catastrophically wrong.
