Fans have been clamoring for Dwayne Johnson to return to WWE for over a decade. Particularly in recent times, fans have been hoping that Johnson will return as he has many opportunities to shake the system. Now, more than ever, Johnson’s return to the ring might look more than possible.
Not only is Johnson physically at his best, but he also has the opportunity to add to the careers of many top WWE stars. And if you are wondering what about Hollywood, here’s the reason why Johnson may have to put his acting career on a hold.

As we already know, for the past two months, the Writers Guild of America has been on strike. But on July 14th, 2023, the Screen Actors Guild also followed them on strike as their deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers also went south. The SAG has more than 160,000 actors in its members, including The Rock.
This means that The Rock can’t possibly work on a movie, both in the production or pre-production phase. Given that only a few of his movies are in the post-production, it’ll take a lot of work off of his chest until the strike ends.
But as they say, when one door closes, another opens, The Rock might just be looking at the recently opened door of WWE. Over the years, we have come to know that shooting schedules have stopped The Brahma Bull from coming over to his second home, but there will be no shooting schedules for a while at the moment. So it is a possibility that the former WWE Champion may choose to hop over to WWE while Hollywood fixes its current state of affairs. As such what stories do you think The Rock could be a part of when he returns?
The multiple stories that The Rock can jump into immediately

The one story that many fans have already been clamoring for The Rock, is The Bloodline. Breaking records left and right, his cousin, Roman Reigns is at the moment the biggest star in the wrestling industry. Going one-on-one against The Tribal Chief will simply be the money-making match. But if Triple H has his cards close to his chest, waiting for the right moment, what’s better than an appearance at SummerSlam?
Away from The Bloodline story, there are also other stories that Johnson could explore. His recent Grayson Waller roast on Twitter also caught the eye of many fans. Even in his recent SmackDown appearance, Waller hinted at this feud, so it looks like it could be possible sooner rather than later.
