Starting as a football player, Johnson could not make a name for himself in the big leagues. Soon after, he transitioned his career into that of WWE and later moved to Hollywood for becoming an actor. As luck would have for him, Johnson soon became one of the biggest Hollywood stars ever.

However, leaving football for greener pastures did not mean The Rock went completely out of touch with the sport. He remained in touch with it and even stars in the television show Ballers, and is simultaneously the co-owner of XFL, which was bought from Vince McMahon.

Soon after this response, Johnson took to Twitter to congratulate Luvu and his team. He also mentioned how he is in touch with his team and would send Luvu some tequila from his brand.

Johnson himself is a football fan and seeing the Panthers end their losing streak and name-calling Johnson’s tequila brand was a wholesome moment for him, which led to Johnson congratulating him. Although, The Rock had previously stated his dream was to win the SuperBowl with New York Giants; he seemed equally happy about Luvu and Panther’s win.
