However, LA Knight has furiously hit back at The Rock's claims, suggesting that Dwayne Johnson's return has not elevated wrestling.

According to the SmackDown star, while it remains to be seen how much impact the return will have, wrestling was already doing well before.

"I hear him say wrestling is cool again, and he's right, but I want to make sure everybody knows it started getting cool again six or seven months before he got there," he said.

"I'm not saying he can't add to that cool factor or that he won't. I'm just saying, wrestling is cool again, and wrestling was cool again before he came back. I don't want it to seem like all of a sudden it happened because of him. Nah nah," he added.
