The Rock is a busy man, from running his businesses, including Seven Bucks Productions, to his acting career and relaunching the XFL next year.
The former WWE Champion is making the media rounds to promote the Black Adam film. While speaking with BNN Bloomberg, he was asked whether he would be interested in making a strategic investment into WWE or taking on a corporate role in the company.
The Rock mentioned how he and WWE co-CEO Nick Khan have discussed that although he is not sure if a board seat is in his future, he wouldn’t rule out other possibilities in the future.
“Nick [Khan] and I have talked about that, and we always enjoy that over a bottle of Teremana [Johnson’s tequila brand]. I love the wrestling business. I grew up in it. My grandfather [and] my dad started here in Canada, where [his father] was born. So, I’m not quite too sure if a board seat is in my future, but possibly other things are in my future, for sure.”
The Rock has previously discussed his childhood friendship with Khan and Khan’s sister, Nahnatchka, who is the creator of his “Young Rock” series on NBC.
The three of them would hang out together as kids in Honolulu, Hawaii, every month when Rock’s grandmother would promote her pro wrestling shows at the local arena.
