Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson made a special appearance after Monday night’s “Raw” in Los Angeles ahead of WrestleMania to call a notable former WWE star on the phone.

Dwayne Johnson Calls CM Punk On Monday Night Raw

The 44-year-old actor and former wrestler was at the Staples Center to shoot scenes from an upcoming movie about the life of WWE star Paige called “Fighting With My Family,” and decided to give fans an entertaining surprise. Johnson entered the ring and called former pro wrestler CM Punk– who famously left the company to sign with the WWE in December 2014– on his cellphone.

Punk, who lost his UFC debut fight in September, didn’t answer the phone, so Johnson left a voicemail. The 38-year-old former wrestler, who is looking for another UFC fight, later tweeted at the Staples Center to thanks all his fans, who began chanting Punk’s name in the packed arena upon Johnson’s call.


According to pro wrestling blog PWInsider.com, WWE executives were not pleased with the Rock’s stunt, probably because of the non-peaceful way the company and Punk parted ways.

Punk walked out of the company in January 2014, but didn’t technically part ways with the company until June of that year, when WWE fired him. Punk cited health reasons as an explanation for his exit from WWE.

Punk alleged WWE’s ringside doctor Chris Amann ignored a cyst on his back, which ended up being diagnosed by another doctor as a life-threatening MRSA infection. Amann responded by filing a $1 million libel lawsuit– which is ongoing– against Punk.

Sunday night’s WrestleMania 32 was certainly an epic event filled with high-energy competition and a string of surprise appearances at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

WrestleMania 32 Highlights: Brie Bella Wins For Divas,

Here are the top moments of the night:

Brie Bella led Team Total Divas to victory over Team B.A.D. and Blonde in an intense five-on-five tag team match. Bella finished off the match by using husband Daniel Bryan’s signature “Yes Lock” move to force Naomi to tap out. Bryan recently announced his retirement from WWE, so this unexpected tribute seemed to mean a great deal to the fans.

Bella’s twin sister Nikki Bella, who is still recovering from a neck surgery, then came out to join Brie, Alicia Fox, Page, Nattie Neidhart and Eva Marie in the ring to celebrate the Divas’  victory.

The five ladies from pop group Fifth Harmony also treated the crowd at AT&T Stadium to a great rendition of “America the Beautiful” before the start of the night’s biggest matches.

The next big surprise was the arrival of Hall of Famers “Stone Cold” Steve AustinShawn Michaels and Mick Foleyall of whom came in to face The League of Nations’ SheamusAlberto Del RioRusev and King Barrett.

Austin, also nicknamed “The Rattlesnake,” got the crowd in his hometown excited by performing his “Stone Cold Stunner” finishing move a few times before cracking open an ice cold beer just like he used to.

Rapper and Reggae artist Snoop Dogg also then made a surprise appearance, teaming up with singer Raven Felix to perform WWE Diva Sasha Banks‘ theme music as she made her way to the ring for her Triple Threat Women’s Championship match versus Charlotte and Becky Lynch. However, Charlotte won the title thanks to her “Figure 8” move, after forcing Lynch to tap out.

Finally, WWE legend and actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson came out into the stadium, literally on fire, holding a giant flamethrower before announcing that WrestleMania 32 had set an all-time attendance record. In a surprising twist, the Wyatt Family’s Bray WyattErick Rowan and Luke Harper rudely interrupted The Rock’s speech and threw down a challenge.

Johnson accepted and quickly laid out Rowan with a “Rock Bottom” in just six seconds. The Rock found himself outnumbered but luckily, a familiar friend swooped in just in time to help him out: John Cena!

Between Cena’s “Attitude Adjustment” and The Rock’s “People’s Elbow,” nobody stood a chance. The crowd was clearly surprised by the treat of having not one but two WWE superstars in the ring at the same time.

Total Divas airs Tuesdays at 9 pm on E!
