    Dwayne Johnson Returns to WWE Amid Hollywood Setbacks

    Dwayne Johnson is also known as The Rock and he recently made a comeback to WWE after a long break. Fans were thrilled to see him back in action. The special thing about his return was that he didn’t just appear a few times. He was part of a whole story with Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. Fans loved watching him at WrestleMania 40.

    The Rock came back to WWE earlier this year. He didn’t just talk; he also fought in a match at WrestleMania 40 with The Bloodline. Fans loved his “Final Boss” character. There are rumors that The Rock wants to have a match with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. Some say he’s interested in spending more time in WWE.

    But some reports say that The Rock’s Hollywood career isn’t going well. His show “Young Rock” got canceled, and his recent movies didn’t do well at the box office. So, coming back to WWE might have been a good choice for him during this tough time in Hollywood.

    A journalist named Dave Meltzer said The Rock might have returned to WWE because of his struggles in Hollywood. Meltzer said The Rock was offered $30 million to join a company called TKO Group. It must have been hard for him to say no to such a big offer. While The Rock’s WWE comeback was a hit, his recent movie “Black Adam” didn’t do well at the box office.
