While wrestling fans still hold out hope that The Rock will return to the ring, the previously teased high-profile matches against Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns look to be off the table. And now the Hollywood star, who has multiple movies in the works, such as a live-action adaptation of “Moana” and a Martin Scorsese crime drama, has indicated that pro wrestling is truly on the back burner, as he has been filmed looking significantly smaller than usual.
The Rock began wrestling for WWE in 1996, after his football career failed to take off. Subsequently, after a tough few years, which saw him unable to connect with fans, his popularity would suddenly skyrocket thanks to being given an opportunity on the mic. This would lead to his unparalleled charisma capturing the attention of those outside the business, and saw him become one of the most bankable actors in the world. Still, he never fully turned his back on the wrestling industry and is currently part of WWE’s board, which has seen him very well-paid via TKO shares.
