From Torn Tendons to Separated Shoulders: Here Is the List of Every Injury Suffered by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson

While he is an inspiration for everyone to live their best lives, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s body is no less of a battlefield. The 51-year-old star has been able to keep himself in the best shape possible with many people considering him as their role model. Ahead of WrestleMania XL, he is back looking bigger, meaner, and badder. However, considering the fact that it would be a long weekend for the star, the question is whether his body will be able to cope with the excess work. While we might not have the answer to it, we do know about all the injuries he has suffered over the years.

Dwayne Johnson’s arsenal of injuries

The Brahma Bull‘s long list of injuries came to light back in 2021. The star shared a picture on his Instagram where he could be seen having a recovery session. Under the picture, he detailed all of the injuries he has suffered over the years. He mentioned that he has had 4 knee surgeries over the years, torn quadriceps from his pelvis, a torn hip adductor that was ruptured again from his pelvis, and many other injuries.

Here is a list of all the injuries Johnson has suffered over the years;

1. 4 knee surgeries
2. Torn quadriceps
3. Torn adductor
4. Triple hernia surgery
5. Ruptured Achilles’ tendon
6. Completely shoulder reconstruction
7. 3 low back disc herniations
8. 2 low back disc ruptures

While he has not mentioned on what side of the body the injuries have occurred, it could be assumed that the adductor and quadriceps tear happened on the same side due to a reason we will discuss further. Those are a lot of injuries. But it is commendable to see him still going strong on movie sets when it comes to performing his stunts.

While Johnson does have an incredible physique, one question that everyone has asked is, why does he not have a six-pack physique?

Why is The Rock six-pack less?

Johnson has been able to make it to the top of the Sexiest Man Alive list. But even the sexiest man accepted all his flaws. During an interview with Wired, he came across the question asking why he does not have six-pack abs. The Jungle Cruise star opened up about a match with John Cena that ended up messing with his abs. At WrestleMania 29, 2013, Johnson faced Cena in the main event. During the bout, the 51-year-old star realized that he ended up tearing the top of his quadriceps which is attached to his pelvis.

He then stated that this caused a chain reaction which in turn ended up tearing his abdominal wall. Due to this, he had to undergo surgery for abdominal herniation thrice. He states that while he does not have a six-pack-abs physique, he does have a four-and-a-half pack or occasionally a five-pack. But considering that his body is riddled with injuries, do you think he stands a chance at the WrestleMania XL Night 1? Let us know in the comments below.
