Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has spoken to Nick Khan about purchasing WWE but isn’t confident that the role is for him.
The Brahma Bull is no stranger to being a business owner, as he runs his movie studio ‘Seven Bucks Productions,’ and is the owner of the XFL.
Johnson also has his award-winning tequila label ‘Teremana Tequila.’
During an interview with BNN Bloomberg as part of a promotional tour for Black Adam, Johnson said owning WWE is something that has come up.
“Nick [Khan] and I have talked about that, and we always enjoy that over a bottle of Teremana. I love the wrestling business. I grew up in it. My grandfather [and] my dad started here in Canada, where [his father] was born.
“So, I’m not quite too sure if a board seat is in my future, but possibly other things are in my future, for sure.”
Johnson also had some advice for WWE should the company’s higher-ups consider a possible buyer.
“I think the key if there were a sale of the WWE is to make sure that whoever acquires that brand in that property, you’ve got to love the wrestling business. Of course, you can love the asset, and you can love everything that comes with it, but you got to love the professional wrestling business.
“If not, then you could kind of see the writing on the wall; four or five years down the road, what will happen?”
Johnson’s newest blockbuster ‘Black Adam‘ will land in cinemas this Friday.
