(via Brandon Thurston) - Coinciding with his appointment to the TKO board, Dwayne Johnson gains ownership of "The Rock" trademark, according to a TKO filing. He and WWE made a new contractor and merchandising agreement, licensing the trademark to WWE for use in pro wrestling for 10 years. Johnson gets $30 million in TKO stock which will vest through Dec 2025.
For the year 2023, Johnson received $491,000 for his WWE appearances and merchandise royalties. He will continue to receive such royalties.

Can't believe he got a board seat before Triple H.

The man is clearly a great businessman. Excellent idea to have him use that business intelligence on the WWE.

Take a year and get into ring shape and build this big dream match for next year. Without the title.

Usually its a bit difficult to get a handle on how much money guys are making on royalties. They had to release some recent financial info since this is affecting a public company, and it was reported Rock was paid $491,000 in 2023 for appearances and royalties. I think he only appeared for WWE twice last year, maybe even just once? So its interesting to see Rock is making a good amount from merchandise and elsewhere.

Calling it now. Mania 41 at Wembley. Rock vs Roman WrestleMania 41 is more than likely going to be at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. |

It's been supposed to be in MN for the last few years. They've been talking about it since like 2017. Rock said he wants to be global and international. That's definitely not what people think of when they hear Minneapolis, MN. Time will tell. |
