The picture in question is one of the most iconic stills of The Rock

This infamous photo from 1994 features The Rock in a completely different avatar, where he can be seen wearing a fanny pack, along with a black turtleneck and a chain. Over the years, the photo has been recreated by The Rock himself, as well as a string of other celebs including his friend Kevin Hart.

Rhea Ripley, at just 24-years-old, is one of the youngest WWE Superstars on the roster and has already competed in a Women's title match at WrestleMania. She lost her NXT Women's title belt to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 36. Ripley has been wowing the WWE Universe for a long time now, and it looks like The Rock is a big fan of her as well, judging by his comment on her picture.
