Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is one of the most prominent faces in Hollywood. Although he’s been down and out in numerous ventures this year, Rock’s stature hasn’t ascended yet. As far as his on-screen naunces go, that’s where the fanbase gets divided. Some adore him, while on the contrary, Dwayne has seen widespread criticism too. Not to mention the point where the New York Times adjudged him terrible.

Apart from the audience, WWE’s SVP of Live Events, Road Dogg, believes that Rock is a great actor; however, Dogg has a better pick. Speaking on his Oh…You Didn’t Know podcast, Dogg put Johnson’s cousin and Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns above the Brahma Bull. Praising Reigns’ impeccable facial expressions, Roady said Roman’s versatility just edges out his Hollywood cousin.

The former New Age Outlaws member hailed the Tribal Chief’s ability to garner tons of heat for himself. That’s being called perfect at one’s job, implied the DX member. Dogg said he’s not dogging Dwayne Johnson by any means. In fact, The Great One’s Central Intelligence is one of his favorite movies. However, citing Reigns run over the past three years, Dogg said he just likes it more.

To his point, Roman has carried the weight of the entire company on his back in the meantime. That’s more than enough to judge who’s a connoisseur at their gig. “I’m not dogging — and Rock’s a great actor. Look one of my favorite movies is ‘Central Intelligence, I just like his family member before him, kind of carrying the company, you know what I mean?”

The SAG-AFTRA strike might’ve blocked WWE return for Dwayne Johnson

Believe it or not, what Brian Gewirtz said about prominent wrestler-turned-actors not returning to WWE during the SAG-AFTRA strike is proving him wrong. John Cena is coming back this Friday on SmackDown. However, Brian’s closely-knit dude, Dwayne Johnson, doesn’t appear to do so. Gewirtz said it would be a bad look for names like The Rock, John Cena, and Dave Bautista to appear on WWE programming while the strike is on.

However, Cena has eclipsed that barrier, mainly leaving Johnson in question again. However, it’s just not about the movies being on hold at present. Rock’s a ridiculously occupied human being. If he’s not at the sets, he’ll probably be found figuring out his other ventures. The bottom line is that the fans might need to accept reality. And that’s to swallow the pill of potentially never seeing Rock for an extended WWE run.
