Daily Mail  

It's been 20 years and some change since The Rock was a full-time WWE superstar. The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin are the two biggest stars WWE have ever had But Dwayne Johnson returns 20 years after his 'prime' having conquered Hollywood So how did one of Hollywood's leading men not only return to his wresting roots, but lay new foundations altogether as a member of the TKO board? The Rock has made sporadic appearances with WWE during his Hollywood domination While his matches with John Cena drew well, the performances did not get critical acclaim The Rock was in a bracket with Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin and now John Cena and Roman Reigns when he first left the business. On the board In late January earlier this year, Johnson, was appointed to the board of TKO, the conglomerate created by WWE and UFC's parent company, Endeavor, to unify the entities. Since his time in WWE, he's been busy, whether it be with his TV and film studio Seven Bucks Productions or Teremana Tequila or Zoa Energy or Project Rock, the Under Armour apparel line that has a deal with the UFC for fighters' fight-week footwear.
