Ready to Follow Ryan Reynolds’ Footsteps, Dwayne Johnson Pledged His Allegiance to $4,450,000,000 Soccer Team Back in 2022

Celebrities and soccer clubs are trending because of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s success with Wrexham. They took over England by storm and helped one of the oldest clubs in the world to achieve a promotion. Hence, this achievement made several other celebrities take notice.

WWE superstar Dwayne Johnson is one of the people looking to potentially be involved with Southend United after the latest reports of creating a documentary. But in 2022, he pledged his allegiance to another English soccer club. Now that will be something to ponder upon!

In an interview revealing his favorite soccer club, Dwayne confessed his love for another team apart from Southend United. Priorities have changed suddenly, as he probably wants to start from scratch. 

Dwayne Johnson confesses love for English soccer giants

In the interview, the host asked him about his favorite club. To this, Johnson replied, “You know the one. You know the one. The pride of Cheshire.” The host said Liverpool when he said those words, and Johnson replied by stating it was Liverpool. Speaking of Liverpool, the European giants are one of the greatest English teams in the world. But in all fairness, The Rock confused the fans with this statement. Notably, ‘The Pride of Cheshire’ is actually Macclesfield and not Liverpool. Does that ring a bell?

As fans who watched the video, there are two takeaways from it. Either the host does not know what ‘The Pride of Cheshire’ stood for, or the Rock didn’t know soccer. Fans can be the judge of perceiving this. On the other hand, he is the king of entertainment and now looks to join hands with British actor Ray Winstone to get involved with Southend United. Recently, Winstone expressed his desire to take over Southend after the club’s current owners put it up for sale.

He partnered with a hedge fund group that specializes in commodity markets to make an offer for the soccer club. Southend is facing financial issues right now, and if they can make the deal, a similar documentary like ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ could be on the cards!

Similar roads to success for Wrexham and Southend United

According to Echo, the bidders are in advanced talks to purchase the club by contacting Rock’s production company, Seven Bucks Productions, who wants to create a documentary, if they complete the takeover. While Ryan Reynolds boosted the Wrexham fan base with the help of his brand value and marketing, Johnson will take it up a notch.

He is one of the most active celebrities on social media. Compared to Ryan Reynolds’ 49.1 million followers on Instagram, the Rock has 381 million followers, while he also has 17 million followers on Twitter. Producing a documentary about Southend United would be brand-boosting. The worldwide reach could get eyeballs towards the soccer club. To sum up, Hollywood loves English soccer. They are taking over the league!
