On October 1, Johnson took to Twitter and announced his return. He posted a compilation video of his matches and wrote, "FINALLY...I come back home to my @WWE universe." He said:

"This FRIDAY NIGHT, I'll return for our debut of SMACKDOWN! LIVE on @FOXTV. There's no greater title than #thepeopleschamp. And there's no place like home."

He's returning to professional wrestling, the path his father and grandfather took. He added that the tequila was on after the show, so the WWE stars are in for a treat!

THE FANS ARE EXCITED TO SEE "THE PEOPLE'S CHAMPION" IN ACTION

Following the tweet by Johnson, Twitter lost its mind, and the retweets were filled with as much excitement as there were "The Rock" gifs.

While some fans were retweeting with gifs of the rock and his catchphrase "Just Bring It," the "Fox TV" handle posted a gif of a cute monkey hugging another.

THE ROCK ISN'T THE ONLY ONE RETURNING

With the first third-generation Superstar in WWE history, Johnson, returning, the WWE universe is set to take a trip down memory lane. Former stars and champions of wrestling are going to make appearances.

Names such as Kurt Angle, Lita, Mick Foley, Booker T, Hulk Hogan, Trish Stratus, Goldberg, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Mark Henry, Ric Flair, and Sting will all be in the ring for Friday's anniversary show according to a WWE press release.

FOX TV EXCITED TO AIR SMACKDOWN
