Well, you know The Rock, right? That big wrestler fella who’s been in a bunch of movies too. These days, folks are all wondering about that belt he’s been carrying around, that’s got everyone talking. Ain’t no regular wrestling belt he’s got there, I’ll tell ya. What he’s carrying is called the People’s Championship.
Now, this People’s Championship, it ain’t something he won in no regular match. Nope, this one’s special. They gave it to him over at the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. Imagine that! And it wasn’t just anybody handing it over either. It was Lonnie Ali, wife of the one and only Muhammad Ali. She’s the one who presented The Rock with this belt, so it’s got a bit of a story and a lot of honor attached to it.
You see, Muhammad Ali was one heck of a fighter, and he stood for the people, too, just like The Rock. So, in a way, it’s like passing down a legacy. When The Rock calls himself the “People’s Champion,” it ain’t just for show—he’s taking on that role in a big way with this belt.
Now, let me tell ya, when he showed up at the WWE Showcase of the Immortals with that belt slung over his shoulder, the crowd went wild! They knew it wasn’t some ordinary belt; this one’s got a special meaning, and it’s like the people’s belt, you know? It’s different from all those other belts he won over the years in WWE. I mean, this fella has held 10 world championships already, and he’s been Intercontinental Champion twice, Tag Team Champion five times, and even won the Royal Rumble back in 2000. But none of those are like this People’s Championship.
This People’s Championship is more about respect and legacy than it is about winning and losing matches. It’s almost like he’s carrying it for the people who watch him and cheer him on, like he’s representing all those fans every time he steps out with that belt on his shoulder.
Now, just so ya know, The Rock started calling himself the “People’s Champion” long before he got this belt. It’s just been his thing. He’s always had that connection with the fans. But after receiving this belt from Lonnie Ali, it’s like he’s officially earned that title, not just for himself but in the spirit of Muhammad Ali’s legacy, too.
So if you see him walking out with that belt, you’ll know what it stands for. It’s not about him winning or being the top wrestler in a competition; it’s about representing the people, and carrying forward the strength, honor, and respect that Muhammad Ali stood for. It’s a symbol, this People’s Championship, for all the folks who look up to him.
And I reckon that’s why so many people were curious when they saw him with that belt. Not every day ya see a wrestling belt given out at a Hall of Fame ceremony, especially by someone like Lonnie Ali. So, next time The Rock comes out with that belt, you’ll know it’s not just for show—it’s a big deal, and it means a whole lot more than just another wrestling title.
