TKO Group Holdings announced in January 2024 that The Rock was named a member of the company's Board of Directors and was given full ownership of his iconic ring name. Ahead of WWE RAW's debut on Netflix, The Final Boss' latest move has been revealed.
Before becoming one of the most popular celebrities in the world, Dwayne Johnson was known as The Rock in WWE. He built a lasting legacy in sports entertainment in such a short amount of time, winning the WWE Championship a total of eight times in his career.
Immediately after being officially named one of TKO's Board of Directors last year, The Great One inserted himself back into WWE TV. He was in a storyline with Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Seth Rollins, which concluded with The American Nightmare finishing his story.
Just a few days before WWE RAW's Netflix debut, Rock's next move has been revealed. PW Insider reported that TKO released an SEC filing on Friday, announcing that The Rock acquired 96,557 shares of the TKO stock as part of his initial deal to become a board member.

Is The Rock appearing at WrestleMania 41?
There have been a lot of conflicting reports about The Rock's availability for WrestleMania 41. The latest rumors suggest that WWE is moving on from The Final Boss, who might not be able to free his schedule to build a story for the biggest event of the year.
According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Rock is expected to make an appearance at WrestleMania 41. It's unclear what kind of role he will have, but it could be a short cameo or even a match. Some people within the company expect him to wrestle, but as usual, plans could always change.
It will be interesting to see if The Great One makes an appearance at RAW's debut on Netflix, which certainly makes things clearer as the Road to WrestleMania 41 inches closer.
