The exact details of his deal with TKO have not been revealed, but WWE, on the other hand, has entered into an agreement. Johnson, who went by his ring name, The Rock, now holds full ownership of its trademark. His addition to the Board of Directors expands the limit from 11 to 13, with Brad Keywall also playing a key role in TKO’s ambition.

I am thrilled to partner with Dwayne and welcome his immense talent to TKO’s Board.

Rocky is still a huge part of WWE, as his presence on Raw Day 1 made it clear. The People’s Champion showed his endeavors to have a match with Roman Reigns and hinted at his in-ring action after 2016. While all that wrestling is building up, Rocky has also pulled out a chance to be the benchmark for businesses. It will be exciting to see how Johnson juggles his humongous work and businesses.

The official post by TKO states breaking news and a verdict from Ariel Emanuel, CEO of TKO. Wrestling fans have lost their minds with that headline and are looking out for Rocky’s contribution. This also means that Dwayne would be involved in WWE’s business and might move pieces if he preferred, like a boss.

Rocky would be hitting the rings once again to take down The Head of the Table Roman Reigns. The rumors suggest the match will be happening either at Elimination Chamber Perth or at WrestleMania 40. If not, WWE will wait a few more months and make it happen one way or another.
