Hollywood actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is one of the richest and most influential figures on a global level. The reach and popularity of the wrestler-turned-actor aren’t limited to wrestling and cinema, but also in the realm of politics. Recently, the Brahma Bull made a shocking revelation about receiving offers from political parties to contest the USA Presidential Election.

Earlier this week, The Rock appeared on the recently launched podcast of Trevor Noah. Upon being asked about a New York Times poll conducted in 2021, Johnson said that the poll indicated the support of 46% American citizens if he ever contests for a White House run. Addressing the poll result, the 51-year-old made yet another shocking revelation.

The 51-year-old shed light on the time when he was approached by a number of political parties at the end of 2022. The unspecified political parties contacted the Brahma Bull after seeing his favorable poll results. They urged the Hollywood star to take a leap into politics and run for the Oval Office.

It was a big deal, and it came out of the blue. It was one after the other, and they brought up that poll, and they also brought up their own deep-dive research that would prove that should I ever go down that road. It was all very surreal because that’s never been my goal.

Apart from the poll statistics, the parties did their own research and calculations, per Johnson. However, the former WWE Champion politely declined the offer for a Presidential run, citing a lack of interest. He stated that politics had never been his goal. In fact, The Rock even added that there are certain aspects of politics that he absolutely despises. Thus, he would not consider going down that path.

WWE seemingly paid tribute to Dwayne Johnson at Crown Jewel 2023

This year’s Crown Jewel was an unforgettable night for the WWE Universe. The magnificent event witnessed some of the most unexpected and thrilling moments, including Logan Paul’s US title win and Solo Sikoa’s mighty win against John Cena. The action-packed show had another unannounced segment featuring The Miz and popular Saudi Arabian actor Ibrahim Al Hajjaj. The latter paid tribute to The Rock in the very same segment.

In the special edition of The Miz TV, the 43-year-old extended a warm welcome to the Saudi actor. However, a few moments later, Grayson Waller unceremoniously interrupted the segment. Crashing the party uninvited, the Aussie Icon wanted to host The Grayson Waller Effect instead of The Miz TV. Al Hajjaj didn’t entertain Waller’s insolent ideas. Later, the 33-year-old tried to lay out the actor.

The refusal didn’t sit well with the SmackDown superstar, who immediately tried to attack Al Hajjaj. He was, however, confronted by The Miz. The Saudi Arabian actor later delivered an impressive People’s Elbow on Waller. It is the famous signature move of former WWE Champion The Rock. It was indeed a subtle homage to the WWE veteran, who made his shocking WWE return two months ago.
