Almost 19 years ago, on the night of September 21, 2004, the WWE universe witnessed an epic showdown between The Rock and the Wrestling Entertainment brand. As the caravan reached Miami, Rock made a surprise appearance in the ring. The evergreen superstar started introducing his family and friends from the audience and was enjoying his game in his hometown.

However, things took an ugly turn when Rock called on his friend and former WWE superstar Eugene on the stage. His call was answered by then-Intercontinental Champion Randy Orton. Orton came and interrupted the Brahma Bull and tried to ruin his night. It's worth noting that Orton made this appearance after Eric Bischoff asked him to do so. Meanwhile, things turned ugly as The Rock reminded Orton about his discussions with Bob Orton.

Here is the video:

Rock said that he once told Bob that someday he would destroy Randy Orton. Orton, being the smart one, pointed out he wasn't prepared for a match, wasn't in his wrestling gear, and had an upcoming bout. However, The Rock wasn't in the mood for excuses. He pounced on the opportunity and threw Randy Orton over the top rope, sending him crashing to the ground.

Eric Bischoff successfully executed his plans!

The crowd went wild after Rock's action, but this action didn't sit well with WWE authority figure Eric Bischoff. He stormed into the arena with security in tow and ordered The Rock to be escorted out for his reckless behaviour. However, Rock being Rock, he didn't hold back and roasted everyone he met on the way to the gate. He hurled insults at Eric Bischoff, the security team, and Jonathan Coachman. Not to mention, he shared some flirtatious moments with some women present in the audience, leaving an unforgettable mark on that night's RAW.

It's worth noting that after that incident, Rock made his comeback to the WWE last week. On September 15, Rock made a surprise comeback during The SmackDown live. In an unexpected move, Rock shocked the WWE universe. The video of his comeback is the most watched video on social media till now. Meanwhile, Rock also expressed his feelings about taking one Roman Reigns in WrestleMania 40.
