Summary
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s latest movie, “Moana,” has flopped at the box office, earning only $4.5M domestically on its opening day. This has led to speculation that he may return to WWE and headline WrestleMania 43 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Rock has a standing offer to appear on the show for historic money, and his previous box-office flops have led to WWE appearances in the past.

The habit gets a new name.
The Rock’s movie flops, and suddenly he’s back in the WWE ring. The cycle continues. After “Black Adam” lost $50 million to $100 million, he appeared at WrestleMania 40. Now, with “Moana” underperforming, he might just headline WrestleMania 43. The Rock’s bank account is calling, and the WWE is answering. The Saudi Arabia event is already guaranteed to be a big payday, and The Rock’s involvement would only add to the spectacle.
The Rock’s return to WWE is just another example of how celebrities use wrestling as a safety net when their movie careers stall.
