In a surprising move that has shocked many fans, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has unfollowed longtime WWE rival Stone Cold Steve Austin on Instagram. The Rock originally followed Austin years ago as the platform rose in popularity, yet Austin never followed him back. This quiet but notable move has now ignited intense speculation about possible underlying tensions between the two icons, despite their legendary on-screen rivalry.

WWE social media unfollows often blend real-life friction, contract drama, and clever storytelling to spark fan interest. Roman Reigns’ unfollowing of Solo Sikoa in 2024 was used to fuel storyline Bloodline betrayal theories, while The Miz’s decision to unfollow WWE accounts and erase company mentions in 2025 raised exit rumors. Becky Lynch later unfollowed controversial UFC star Conor McGregor, with many feeling she no longer wanted to publicly support her fellow outspoken Irish sportsperson.
