The Rock took to Twitter on Tuesday to react to his return to WWE on Monday’s ‘Day 1’ themed episode of RAW. “The Great One” wrote,
“It all hits differently.
The theme, the crowd, the connection, the reaction, the electricity, the chills.
Helluva way to bring in 2024. Grateful, blessed & inspired to forever be, the People’s Champ. @WWE #WWERaw”

The advertised NXT World Title match featuring Ilja Dragunov and Trick Williams didn’t take place on this week’s New Year’s Evil themed episode of WWE NXT. Instead, Grayson Waller replaced Dragunov.
During Tuesday night’s show, it was announced that Dragunov was unable to participate in the match after he wasn’t cleared to compete. Waller wound up mocking Williams, and the back-and-forth led to a match where Carmelo Hayes suggested that Trick put his #1 contendership on the line.
Williams and Waller went back-and-forth in the main event, which eventually led to Hayes coming out to help. Kevin Owens appeared and took out Waller, then rolled him back into the ring where Williams got the win.
