Twitter over capacity lastnight due WWE the Rock?

On Monday evening, many Twitter users may have found the hugely popular microblogging site to be “over capacity.” We likely have pro wrestling fans to blame for that. Last night on WWE Monday Night Raw, film star and former professional wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson made an unexpected return to WWE television programming on USA network after seven years away from the sport that made him famous. Shortly after 11:00 pm EST the social media world exploded with talk of Dwayne Johnson returning to WWE. But Johnson himself was largely responsible for whipping up the social media frenzy. For the first time in WWE programming history, a superstar’s personal Facebook page was promoted live during the broadcast. For Johnson, the social media plug brought his WWE return full circle. On Monday afternoon, the WWE legend himself teased his return with a cryptic Facebook post that told WWE fans to “get ready.”
