The Rock once predicted current AEW star would usher in new WWE era

The Rock is one of the best-decorated stars and a highly acclaimed Hollywood star. Starting his pro wrestling career in 1996, he became a household name and has a ton of experience in the business. He has not forgotten his roots and often praises talents on social media who are thriving in the business.

The Final Boss praised an AEW star back when he had recently debuted in WWE. The star being discussed is Ricochet. The latter made his debut in the Stamford-based promotion in 2018 on the NXT brand. His dynamic high-flying moves caught many eyes and his performances were highly praised.

The One and Only star made a big name for himself in the global sports entertainment juggernaut and is currently All Elite. He made his AEW debut at the All In Pay-Per-View. He has been wrestling on almost every Dynamite episode since his arrival. He recently appeared on Hey! (EW) episode and was asked about The Rock's tweet where the latter praised The Highlight of the Night in 2018.

Months after Ricochet's debut in WWE, the Brahma Bull took to social media and heaped praise on him and predicted that he would be a shining star in the current timeline.

​

"He’s the man! Love the stuff King is doing and will no doubt be the leader in ushering in a new era of our wrestling business. Future champ," he wrote.
