WWE Raw: The Rock lays out The New Day on return in Miami

The Rock prepares to pummel Xavier Woods

The Rock made a triumphant return to Monday Night Raw in Miami by laying out The New Day.

The Great One, who confirmed late last year that he will appear at WrestleMania 32, engaged in a verbal joust with Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, lampooning the trio's unicorn horns and colourful ring attire.

The Rock hits Big E with a Rock Bottom

The reigning WWE Tag Team Champions attempted to back away when The Rock challenged them to a fight.

But they were jumped by The People's Champion's cousins, The Usos, leading to Big E receiving a Rock Bottom from the legend and Woods being struck by a People's Elbow.

The Rock had words for The Miz, Big Show and Lana as he made his return to WWE Raw in Miami.

Elsewhere on the post-Royal Rumble edition of Raw, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Brock Lesnar learned they will square off in a Triple Threat Match at Fastlane to determine who faces new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Triple H at WrestleMania.

Reigns and Ambrose will be rivals on February 21 but flourished as a team on the red brand while defeating League of Nations members Sheamus and Rusev, Reigns spearing the Irishman for the victory before helping Ambrose hurl the Bulgarian through the announce desk.

AJ Styles beat Chris Jericho on his Raw bow

AJ Styles, meanwhile, enjoyed a successful Raw debut, The Phenomenal One conquering Chris Jericho via a roll-up, plus there were triumphs for Kalisto over The Miz, Bray Wyatt over Kane, and Kevin Owens over Dolph Ziggler.

Sasha Banks' scrap with Becky Lynch ended in disqualification when Charlotte attacked The Boss and blasted her with Natural Selection, the Divas Champion gaining revenge after being assaulted by the Bostonian at Royal Rumble.

Plus, The Dudley Boyz knocked off Social Outcasts stablemates Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas, after Dallas had showcased his rapping abilities to local lyricist Flo Rida under the moniker 'Bo Rida'.
