Austin Theory recently said that a 17 -time absent champion was fundamental during the return of The Rock to WWE in September 2023. Theory shared the story of how Charlotte Flair was involved in the last -moment planning of the surprise return of The Great One.
The Rock faced Theory in the opening segment of the episode of September 15, 2023 of Smackdown in Denver, Colorado. The Final Boss exchanged blows with former United States champion before obtaining the advantage. Spinebuster applied followed by The People's Elbow to A-Town Down.
In an appearance in Insight From Chris Van Vliet, Theory asked about how the segment had been planned. He said they asked Charlotte Flair That he left one of the bus behind the stage so that he, Triple H, Nick Khan, Rock and the members of the creative team could meet quickly.
“I think they are just trying to get a bus to make this private and nobody sees Rock. I think Nick Khan plays the door of the Charlotte Flair bus and they say: 'Hey, can you go down?' She says: 'Okay'.
It was just an isolated segment between The Rock And Austin Theory, although the former WWE champion returned in the episode of January 1 this year. He faced Jinder Mahal and made fun of going for Roman Reigns before the plans changed in the face of Wrestlemania 40.
