Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Wins Over Hollywood, Roman Reigns Aims to Win Over WWE Fans

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, affectionately known by wrestling fans as The Great One and The Brahma Bull, has cemented his legacy as a dominant force in both Hollywood and WWE. Over the past few years, Johnson has starred in a string of major blockbuster films, and 2023 has been no exception. Despite his relentless filming schedule, which includes high-profile projects like Moana 2 and Red One, Johnson found time to make waves in WWE, reigniting rivalries with top stars like Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes. Now, Roman Reigns wants to deliver fans the highly anticipated match between him and Johnson.
Johnson’s cinematic appeal shows no signs of waning. According to Disney, Moana 2, the highly anticipated sequel to Disney’s beloved animated classic, debuted at number one at the box office earlier this month. The film, featuring Johnson reprising his iconic role as Maui, delighted audiences worldwide and proved that his charisma transcends mediums.

Not one to rest on his laurels, Johnson also headlined the Christmas-themed action-comedy Red One, which debuted at number one in the same month. The rare feat of having two films simultaneously topping the box office further solidifies Johnson's standing as a Hollywood powerhouse.
Furthermore, Johnson, known for his impressive physique, has revealed that he relied on a little help from a costume designer to achieve the muscular look of Maui in the upcoming live-action adaptation of Disney’s Moana. Despite appearances, Johnson confirmed that the buff physique seen in leaked set photos wasn’t entirely his own. He explained that a specialized suit was used to enhance his appearance, making him look even more like the powerful demigod.
“That’s a suit that took a long time to put on,” Johnson said. “So, I’m so happy you said, ‘You bulked up,’ because when you say, ‘You bulked up,’ that means you couldn’t tell.” (via )
Even as Johnson conquers the box office, the WWE Universe continues to buzz about his sporadic appearances in the squared circle. This year, Johnson’s returns to WWE television reignited his rivalry with Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes, reminding fans of his larger-than-life presence in sports entertainment. However, the most tantalizing storyline remains the possibility of a long-awaited showdown with his cousin, Roman Reigns. In an interview with , Reigns addressed the potential clash, acknowledging the fans’ relentless demand for the dream match.
Reigns said, “We have a vision for where we’re trying to go, but we know who the consumers are. (...) Business is great, and we just want to continue to push things up. So, if that’s what the people want and The People’s Champ is down, I’m sure we can make something happen.”
As Johnson’s career flourishes across industries, fans eagerly await what’s next, be it another cinematic hit, a surprise WWE appearance, or the ultimate WrestleMania moment. The People's Champ has proven time and again that there are no limits to what he can achieve.
