Do you smell what “The Rock” is cooking this Friday?

Former Hawaii resident and movie star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is returning to the WWE universe this Friday night for the debut of “Smackdown” on Fox.

Johnson, who was known during his pro wresting days as “The People’s Champ,” often raised an eyebrow and “laid the smackdown” on his opponents.

“There’s no greater title than #thepeopleschamp. And there’s no place like home,” Johnson announced on his Twitter and Instagram accounts.
