Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has reaffirmed his love for WWE, saying he’ll always “happily” return to the ring if given the chance. Having first joined WWE in 1996, Johnson’s wrestling roots run deep as a third-generation star, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Peter Maivia, and his father, Rocky Johnson, who wrestled for the McMahon family. Now, as a member of WWE’s board, he feels a commitment to WWE’s growth, both domestically and globally, and sees returning to wrestling as part of his legacy.
Recently, Johnson made a comeback as “The Final Boss,” exciting fans by stepping back into the ring. He explained, “I feel like it’s in my blood,” adding that his ties to wrestling are generational, with his family’s involvement dating back to the 70s. He views his board role as another way to contribute to WWE’s continued success and evolution.
Outside of WWE, Johnson has also focused on creating a legacy with his tequila brand, Teremana. He described how the embossed letters “TIJASI” on each bottle represent his daughters’ initials, symbolizing his intention for Teremana to be a lasting brand for his family. Rather than selling it off, he envisions Teremana becoming a family legacy.
Johnson’s involvement with WWE, combined with his commitment to creating a family-driven brand, underscores his dedication to building long-term legacies. Fans can continue to expect his periodic returns to WWE, as he remains deeply connected to the sport that launched his career.
