Hi, I'm Donna, the editor for WWE at EssentiallySports. I help our writers dot their i's, cross their t's, and ensure they get all their facts straight. I am particularly invested in the world of wrestling since it's unlike any other sport currently televised. The thought put behind orchestrating wacky storylines and building hype for months on end is incredible and something that I enjoy keeping track of. Particularly, I like the shenanigans Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio get up to as part of The Judgment Day, as well as watching what up-and-coming talents have to offer over at NXT.

During my time at ES, I have been doing live coverage of WWE SmackDown which currently hosts our “Head of the Table” Roman Reigns. Prior to this, I worked as a reporter for a national newspaper, covering investigative stories on education, space, science, and tech. While these might seem worlds apart, I still enjoy getting into the nitty gritty of stories here at ES, picking apart details and finding out facts about wrestlers that most would overlook. In my spare time, I enjoy delving into my hobbies: writing, drawing, or just goofing off with my cat.

For quite a few years now, Dwayne Johnson [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/] has teased running for president or starting a political career. However, he never fully committed to one. Why did The Rock not want to be president? What were the reasons behind it? Here’s all you need to know. Johnson is among the best-known WWE stars in the world today. His popularity ensures his movies and business get a fanbase as soon as they launch. This also works in politics. DWAYNE JOHNSON EXPLAINS WHY HE NEVER WANTED TO COMMIT While on the What Now? with Trevor Noah podcast, Johnson gave some insight into why he never ran for president. There have been several instances in the past where Johnson claimed to want to run for the presidential election but never did. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Dwayne-Johnson-3-36.jpg] “As a pro wrestler, full-time, wrestling 230 dates a year, for years,” Johnson said, comparing his commitment as a pro wrestler [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-dwayne-johnson-and-john-cena-set-to-return-to-acting-duties-as-historic-sag-aftra-strike-ends/] to that of being a president. Furthermore, he explained that since he became a father, his role towards his family has increased. Furthermore, this is not a role he wants at the moment. Johnson said, “I know what it’s like to have that separation and not be there for the birthdays and not be there for the pickups, drop-offs, and everything else.” He explained how committing to one role [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-a-real-bad-place-dwayne-johnson-answers-how-turned-being-hit-with-major-noise-and-criticism-into-love-twenty-seven-years-ago/] would take away from the others he has as a father.

[https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-with-sag-aftra-strike-ending-will-dwayne-johnson-still-return-to-challenge-his-cousin-roman-reigns-at-wrestlemania-forty/] “I didn’t want that, and I don’t want that for my little ones now,” Johnson said. This explains why he never fully went in on the idea of running for president. Becoming a father [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-im-going-to-kill-you-dwayne-johnson-shares-heartbreaking-story-from-his-fathers-troubled-teenage-years/] changed Johnson as a person. WOULD JOHNSON WIN IF HE RAN FOR PRESIDENT? During the 2021 political election, a poll was taken where 46% of US adults said they would support Johnson if he ran for president. To this, Johnson said, “I was really blown away, and I was really honored.” It was in 2017 that Johnson floated the idea of running for president. However, as we enter 2024, the idea for him is off the table as he is now a father. What do you think about the claims by The Rock? Do you agree with his plight? Tell us in the comments.

After claiming multiple times he would run for president, Dwayne Johnson finally
breaks down why he never fully committed to the idea.

My passion for professional wrestling began when I saw Kane ripping the Hell in
a Cell door off in the iconic 1997 match. I used to enjoy watching WWE re-runs
at 5 in the evening when I got home from school. It was sort of a ritual for me.
I loved watching Jeff Hardy jump off any tall structure and that was an
adrenaline rush despite having crippling altophobia. For me pro wrestling has
been an escape and still is. Now, I write about wrestling to share the
excitement I felt as a kid with others. I have also been a part of the FanCast
at ES, which was a great opportunity. Going from a freelance content writer to
someone who gets to cover live events and interviews at ES was a major upgrade
in my professional life. Apart from WWE, I love watching movies and picking out
the flaws in storytelling or the plot. You can drop a message to me at LinkedIn:
