March 1st 2025.
Fans of the WWE are buzzing with excitement as Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson continues to make headlines with his incredible success. The former wrestling legend has been named the highest paid actor of 2024, and he's already off to a strong start on Netflix with several projects in the works.
One of the most exciting news for fans is that Dwayne has landed a role in Martin Scorsese's highly anticipated blockbuster, along with a live action adaptation of the hit Disney film Moana. According to Forbes, Dwayne raked in a whopping $88 million last year thanks to his roles in Red One and Moana 2. And that's not even including the money he earned through his contracts with his agent and lawyer.
But while Dwayne may be dominating the big screen, many WWE fans believe that his best performances are still on shows like Raw and SmackDown. His character, the Final Boss, has been a fan favorite and has been receiving heaps of praise from viewers.
In fact, the Final Boss has been making a comeback in recent weeks and is set to make his presence known at tonight's Elimination Chamber premium live event. Fans have been raving about Dwayne's portrayal of this evil amalgamation of Hollywood Rock and his real-life position on the TKO board of directors. With his vicious streak and colorful vocabulary, the Final Boss has been hailed as Dwayne's best role yet.
Even before the big event, viewers were already praising the Final Boss. @Najzees on X wrote, "The Final Boss is the best character The Rock has ever played... Phenomenal," while @realdealANeil added, "The Final Boss character is probably the best work The Rock has done in his career."
@Dsinger89 agreed, "The Final Boss kills me man. This character is incredible. Dwayne is the best to ever do it," and @Noy3s tweeted, "Clinically insane bad guy Rock is the best character he ever played."
After appearing as himself on the Netflix premiere of Monday Night Raw in January, Dwayne brought back the Final Boss character on SmackDown last week. And fans couldn't be more thrilled.
But it's not just his on-screen performances that are earning Dwayne praise. His role in Moana 2 is said to have earned him an "ungodly amount" of money. And with just seven weeks to go until WrestleMania 42, Dwayne is already making his mark by issuing an ultimatum to Cody Rhodes, the Undisputed WWE Champion.
In a tweet, Dwayne offered Cody everything he's ever wanted in exchange for his "soul." With the whole match card now up in the air, fans are eagerly anticipating the showdown between these two powerhouse wrestlers.
In the UK, Netflix is the go-to destination for all things WWE, including weekly live episodes of Raw, SmackDown, and NXT, as well as premium live events like WrestleMania 42.
