Despite his significant influence and popularity, Dwayne Johnson earns less from his social media accounts compared to famous footballers Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Will The Rock return to WWE as feud with Grayson Waller intensifies?
The last time The Rock appeared on WWE television was during the 20th Anniversary episode of SmackDown on October 4, 2019. Since then, The Great One hasn’t made any appearances on WWE shows. However, it appears that the wait for fans may soon be over. SmackDown star Grayson Waller recently called out The Rock for a Waller Effect segment. Given Waller’s previous segments with stars like John Cena and Edge, the chances of the former WWE Champion making an appearance are highly likely.
As we are on the road to SummerSlam, there are already reports that WWE is planning for a legend to return and share the ring with Grayson at the Biggest Party of the Summer. Some reports suggest that the legend could be Stone Cold Steve Austin. Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see whether The Rock will make an appearance at SummerSlam 2023 to help elevate Grayson Waller’s status in the company.
