10 WWE Moments Only The Rock Could Get Away With
2. Hijacking Raw
A modern-day Monday Night Raw appearance for The Rock may not guarantee a scintillating segment of television, but when he makes his rare stops on the flagship show, he's undoubtedly the highlight of the night for those in attendance.
Invariably sailing over the ample time he's presumably allotted, The Rock soaks every drop of atmosphere from the audience, and usually revisits the guttural moments of his late-1990s verbosity if he feels the need to steal an easy response from the crowd during the tête-à-tête or sales pitch he's been tasked to engage in.
The best recent example of an off-the-books session from The Rock came during an appearance on a January 2016 edition of Monday Night Raw, when 'The Great One' was briefly distracted by some cosplaying fans in the front row.
Interestingly enough, the gentlemen had earlier been escorted out by security and asked to calm down, with their ringside histrionics allegedly distracting the crowd from matches.
Rather than hiding these for the remainder of the show, 'The Brahma Bull' drew specific attention to all four, allegedly infuriating management backstage, but delighting the live crowd and the four impersonators, who even got to speak on the show in masterfully-handled fan participation from The Rock.
