As the curtain rises on the ongoing turmoil in the entertainment world, uncertainty looms over professional wrestling. The screen actors guild, known as SAG-AFTRA, is on strike, leaving performers in the throes of financial instability. Amidst this scenario, WWE fans have raised hope for the return of WWE icon Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. With the ongoing strike in Hollywood, some have suggested that there are chances of The Rock showing up in the squared circle once again. But one person close to The Brahma Bull has his reservations over a grand comeback by DJ.

Dwayne Johnson’s Reckoning in the Wrestling Ring

The speculation of The Rock stepping back into the squared circle seems irresistible. However, the voice of experience, former WWE writer Brian Gewirtz, reminds us that appearances can be deceiving. Gewirtz, who collaborates with his production company, Seven Bucks Productions, shares insights into the potential consequences of such a return. In a conversation on The Masked Man Show Gewirtz gave a subtle hint as to how things might go.

He said, “I would be shocked if The Rock appeared anytime soon while the strike is going on, but I would be equally, if not more shocked if The Rock never appeared in a WWE ring again and figuring in the storyline at some point.”

He further added, “It’s a bad look for a prominent actor like The Rock, Cena [John Cena], Batista [Dave Batista] to appear on an entertainment program while there is a strike going on.”

SAG-AFTRA strike shadows Dwayne Johnson’s potential return

The actors’ group, SAG-AFTRA, is fighting with the people who make movies and TV shows. They’re not happy with how much they get paid and the rights they have. This fight is affecting a lot of things, and it’s also connected to The Rock’s pro wrestling comeback.

Gewirtz’s point is important. Even if  The Rock wanted to be on WWE, it might not be the right time because of the strike. The Rock is not just a pro wrestler; he’s also a big actor. If he shows up on TV while other actors are not working, it could cause problems. He is caught between two things – his pro wrestling past and his acting present.

This conflict of interest might keep ‘The People’s Champion’ away from the ring for quite some time.
