Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, had a virtual conversation with Eli Manning during the Wild Card round between the Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams. However, the conversation quickly shifted from sports to paleontology when Manning spotted a T-Rex skull on The Rock’s background.

When questioned about the skull, Dwayne Johnson revealed the story behind it.

“I got a T-Rex skull. That’s Stan. As a matter of fact, Stan is the most complete T-Rex skull ever found by a young paleontologist and his name was Stan. So, this T-Rex head was named after him. Pretty cool and bada**, isn’t it?”

Reportedly, Stan the T-Rex’s skull was once sold at an auction for a whopping $31.8 million. It could have been The Rock who purchased it or he purchased it later from the previous owner. Nevertheless, The Rock spent quite a bit for Stan the T-Rex.

Fans can purchase a similar Stan the T-Rex replica

It has been discovered that interested individuals can purchase a replica of Stan at a much lower amount as well.

 

Undoubtedly, Johnson’s fans got a pop out of knowing a dinosaur skull hangs in his house. But, they always want to know when he’s returning to the WWE ring and that’ll be a louder pop!

The Rock is focusing completely on his businesses

There’s no news or hint of The Rock returning to the company in 2022. As of now, Dwayne Johnson has focused only on his businesses and movies.

With everything going on, it’s doubtful he will get the chance to come back to WWE immediately. He could make an appearance during a live show or PPV, but a long-term return like John Cena or Brock Lesnar doesn’t seem to be in the pipeline at the moment.
