“It’s a Bad Look for a Prominent Actor Like The Rock”: Belief That Dwayne Johnson’s Public Image Will Be Hampered if He Appears on WWE Anytime Soon

Wrestling fans have been missing Dwayne Johnson‘s in-ring appearances a lot lately. This is because the former wrestler hasn’t marked his attendance in WWE in a long while. But with the ongoing Hollywood strike, some fans are hopeful they may see The Rock pop up on WWE. But an ex-WWE personality who is close to The Rock professionally, recently made a bold statement about his return to the promotion. Former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz claimed that appearing in WWE at this moment would not be good for the Hollywood actor’s career.

Since Johnson has become a great name in the big-screen entertainment industry, he would want to prioritize that side of his career more than wrestling. But what exactly about his WWE appearance could harm his Hollywood career?

Is Dwayne Johnson’s Hollywood career at risk because of WWE?

Appearing on ‘The Masked Man Show’, Gewirtz chatted plenty with the podcast host about Johnson. Because of how closely the former WWE writer currently works with Johnson, his contribution to the conversation was crucial. While talking about Johnson’s potential return to WWE, Brian said that it wouldn’t be ideal for him to return to pro wrestling at this point in time.

Brian Gewirtz said, “Even though WWE is not affiliated with any of the guilds, I think it’s bad luck for a prominent actor like The Rock, Cena, or Batista to appear on an entertainment program while there’s a strike going on where people are not getting paid and striking every single day. Yes, it’s not the same, but it’s also, like, appearing on television for entertainment capacity and it’s not a great look with the strike going on, for one thing.”

According to the Senior Vice President of ‘Seven Bucks Productions’, the ongoing Hollywood strike would harm The Rock’s image in Hollywood if he appears on another entertainment platform. That’s why we might not get to see him anytime soon.

With that being said, when can we really expect the WWE legend to show up? The Brahma Bull himself dropped a subtle hint at his possible future appearance in WWE recently. Let’s revisit his words again.

Dwayne Johnson hints at his potential future return

Almost a week ago, Johnson appeared on his Hollywood best friend’s talk show. Kevin Hart and his millionaire friend talked about the latter’s WWE return. This happened when Hart revealed on ‘Hart to Heart’ that he is close to Nick Khan. He also revealed that the CEO of WWE had mentioned plans for Johnson to be in Philadelphia in 2024. Fans who are always aware of the upcoming PLEs know that this could matter a great deal.

This is because next year in Philadelphia, WWE is hosting WrestleMania 40. So, The Rock’s presence at WrestleMania could point toward him being there for a match. It’s highly possible that the strike situation in Hollywood also gets resolved by then, allowing Johnson to take a step toward his much-awaited return.
