The Rock has been one of the most prominent figures in WWE during the Attitude Era. His iconic feud with the Taxes Rattlesnake, Stone Cold Steve Austin is still young in the hearts of the fans. However, the People’s Champion made his last WWE appearance in October 2019, when he joined Smackdown’s 20th Anniversary celebration.
Since then, The Brahma Bull has been out of action despite being heavily rumored to return at WrestleMania 39. Since joining Hollywood, the Rock has become a megastar. As a result, he’s among the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. However, for a few fans, his WWE salary is still a secret.
The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment is not currently under contract with WWE. Consequently, according to his WWE contract in 2013, The Rock has an annual salary of $5 million, which is equivalent to Roman Reigns’ current salary. However, if the Brahma Bull makes a return to the company in the future, a possible raise in amount can be expected.
In 2018, the 8-time WWE Champion also revealed that he used to get $40 per match in his initial days in the Pro Wrestling scene. On a broader scale, Dwayne Johnson’s total net worth is an astounding $800 million. That includes all his movie salaries, endorsement deals as well as business investments.
Can the WWE Universe expect a possible in-ring return for The Rock?
Following the Bloodline storyline, Dwayne Johnson was expected to make a spectacular return at WrestleMania to help his cousin, Roman Reigns defend his Undisputed Universal Championship against the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes.
Before Night 2 of WrestleMania, The Rock also tweeted a video of himself while in the gym stating that he might see The Tribal Chief in person. However, nothing like that happened at the Grandest Stage of them All as we saw Solo Sikoa coming to Reigns’ aid in the final moments.
Hence, the WWE Universe got disheartened following The People’s Champion’s absence amidst Roman Reigns retaining his Unified championships at WrestleMania Night 2 against Babyface Cody Rhodes.
Despite a number of rumors currently floating on the internet, the return of the Brahma Bull is still not confirmed and is highly unlikely to happen in the coming months. The main reason behind this is the schedule of the former WWE Champion as he’s busy with the shooting of a handful of movies.
