Unbelievable WWE Earnings Of The Rock Revealed

The Rock’s staggering earnings from WWE have now been laid bare.

The Rock officially rejoined WWE in a formal capacity when he was appointed to the TKO Group’s Board of Directors in early 2024. Just days later, the news of a lawsuit filed against Vince McMahon broke, and he was eventually forced out of the company after sponsors threatened to pull their money from the company.

While The Rock’s presence in WWE has been questionable on-screen since then, most notably when he abandoned John Cena without warning after Cena’s shock heel turn at Elimination Chamber, it seems being back in the world of sports entertainment has been very lucrative for The Final Boss.

The Rock Making Tens Of Millions In WWE

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer explained just how much The Rock is likely to have made from his deal to join TKO’s Board:

I haven’t calculated what Dwayne’s probably fixing on—80 million dollars over… this will be the end of the second year of that deal. Because he signed that deal on… was it January 3rd, 2024? Right. So two years—80 million dollars, roughly. Unbelievable.

Meltzer added that calculation was just what The Rock was likely to earn through stock, while his real payday could be much higher:

Not even including his merch money. Not even including his WrestleMania and live appearance pay. Which were probably adding like several more million.

As far as who Meltzer thinks The Rock should be thanking as far as his bumper pay goes, he says to look no further than WWE president, Nick Khan:

He should be in love with Nick Khan. Just telling you that. And basically, what Nick—Nick Khan should be in love with him too. Because those two—they’ve really… they’ve really taken care of each other financially and status-wise.

As well as counting his cash, The Rock could be in for an award that money can’t buy following his role as Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine.
