The Rock Speaks Out After Taking Full Ownership Of 'The Rock' Name For The First Time Ever

The Rock on Raw.

2024 only just started, and it seems like the WWE is wasting no time making big moves. The company announced a massive deal that sets Monday Night Raw as a Netflix exclusive for a decade, and its parent company TKO Holdings signed one of Hollywood's biggest superstars up for a major role behind the scenes. Dwayne Johnson was officially announced as a new member of TKO's board of directors, which came with an agreement that grants him full ownership of "The Rock" branding, and the superstar understandably had a lot to say. 

In addition to securing his role a member of the board at TKO Holdings, which owns both the WWE and UFC, the deal officially gave Dwayne Johnson legal ownership of "The Rock" nickname that he's been associated with for decades. The official word from WWE (via Variety) reported Johnson will also provide promotional, licensing, and other services for the company as part of the agreement. In what is a big day for the superstar, The Rock shared thoughts about what this moment meant to him.
