Johnson’s recent return to WWE comes after he was named to TKO’s board of directors in January, following its acquisition of the wrestling empire.
“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,” he said at the time.
After WrestleMania 40, Johnson will receive over $9 million in TKO stock.
