Before he was a mega actor and businessman Dwayne Johnson was in the WWE and went by “The Rock.” Dwayne is now on the new WWE board and he has exclusive rights to his stage name. He has some pull in the new company, most of which I’ll be honest I don’t understand, but he owns the rights to his name.
“My grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia, and my dad, Rocky ‘Soulman’ Johnson, would’ve never thought this day would come. Which is why I’m very humbled to have a seat at the table that has decades of history and family legacy for me. A table that my family helped to build. Being on the TKO Board of Directors, and taking full ownership of my name, ‘The Rock’, is not only unprecedented, but incredibly inspiring as my crazy life is coming full circle.”
