It’s been four years since Dwayne Johnson used his special move, the People’s Elbow, on Baron Corbin during WWE SmackDown. The Rock hasn’t been on WWE since then. Right after that famous part of the show, Johnson went to Instagram and said thank you to Corbin.
“This Rock Bottom crash landing is gonna knock the hell outta ya, but it’s just pain. Eventually, it goes away 💀 Huge thank you to this stud @baroncorbinwwe. Thanks for the action and letting me throw around all 6’8 300lbs of you. You gotta lot of talent and potential as we discussed. Keep working hard to hone your craft, always entertain the fans and when it’s time to be a bad MF’er. Be a bad MF’er,” The Rock said.
