The Rock WWE World Championships:- Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is an American actor and a part-time professional wrestler. He was born in Hayward, California, United States, on 2 May 1972. The Rock started his professional wrestling career in 2006 as Rocky Maivia. However, this character was highly disliked by the WWE fans, and on every show, they used to chant “Die, Rocky, Die!” and “Rocky Sucks”. After a while, he finally turned heel and joined The Nation of Domination, and during this phase, he also changed his professional wrestling name to The Rock.
One of the biggest moments in The Rock’s professional wrestling career happened at the Survivor Series 1998, where he defeated Mankind to win his first WWE Championship. After a brief run as a heel character, The Rock officially turned babyface. During this time, his catchphrase, “If you smell what The Rock is cookin,” also became very popular among the WWE universe. During the 2000s, The Rock started to appear in movies, and at WrestleMania XX in 2004, he wrestled his last match as a full-time WWE wrestler.
After leaving WWE, The Rock quickly became one of the biggest and highest-paid actors in Hollywood. He appeared in blockbuster movies like Fast & Furious, Jumanji, San Andreas, and Moana. After being away from the WWE for almost a decade, he returned in 2011 and went on 2 two-year feud with John Cena. The Rock once again returned to WWE in 2024, where he again turned heel and introduced the Final Boss character, aligning himself with his cousin, Roman Reigns.
