As we reported last week here on eWn, WWE Superstar and actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson joined TKO’s Board of Directors. As part of the deal, he has gained ownership of the trademark for his ring name.
The Great One took to Twitter today to thank Ari Emmanuel, Mark Shapiro, Nick Khan, and Triple H. He wrote,
“My honor to join @TKOGrp Board of Directors (parent co who owns @WWE @UFC)
An historic day of big business with deep and personal “life comes full circle” significance for me.
I have the privilege now to sit at the table, that my grandfather and my dad helped to build.
Now the fun part – we go to work.
We build.
Thanks to all you guys out there for your support and hype.
And thank you to my TKO/WWE partners-
Ari Emmanuel
Mark Shapiro
Nick Khan
Paul “Triple H” Levesque
