Following a story.

As we exclusively reported last week here on WrestlingINC.com, WWE went to great lengths to keep the return of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson a secret.

The WWE production staff had been told all week long that the guest host was Justin Bieber. Others in WWE creative were told it was Bob Barker. The script for RAW last week called for a "Leave it to Bieber" segment. That's what the WWE production team was told to come up with and did.

As everyone knows, Johnson wound up doing the total opposite as he teased a return on Facebook and then later launched an official Twitter account. About an hour before RAW went live, he posted a photo of himself filming a WWE promo backstage.

Johnson was also kept in a secluded dressing room backstage until his segment began. He also arrived to the building late in the evening.

Have a good weekend guys. Thanks for your continued support of the website. We really appreciate it!
