In a move that could make even John Cena raise an eyebrow, Dwayne Johnson, revered WWE legend and Hollywood superstar, recently displayed his compassionate side by reaching out to UFC fighter Themba Gorimbo, who publicly shared his financial struggles, revealing a meager $7.49 in his bank account ahead of his UFC Vegas 73 bout.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s empathetic response showcased his own journey from humble beginnings, where he, too, faced similar challenges.

Wrestling fans will recall Dwayne Johnson’s own journey from the bottom turnbuckle to Hollywood stardom. Just like a steel chair to the face, Dwayne Johnson experienced his fair share of financial blows during his early days, battling with a meager $7 in his bank account. But he persisted, made it to the top, and now looks prepared to aid his fellow warriors, including Gorimbo.
While The Rock’s massive wealth and Hollywood glitz might suggest a disconnect from the struggles of everyday people, he continues to defy expectations. True to his wrestling roots, Dwayne Johnson understands the grueling path these fighters tread and recognizes the importance of lending a helping hand to those who share the same passion for combat sports.

But The Rock’s benevolence doesn’t end in the octagon. Despite recent reports of financial setbacks in his XFL venture, Dwayne Johnson remains as resilient as The Undertaker rising from the ‘grave’. Addressing naysayers, The Rock boldly proclaimed, “I play the long game in business, and the XFL is no exception”. Like a Royal Rumble marathon, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson seems to be in it for the long haul.
I’ve tried to tell him his whole life but he’s never listened to me 😜
I play the long game in business and XFL is no exception. We saw some nice successes and took some L’s in our first season that we learn from.
75-100 XFL players will be competing in NFL camps this fall.… https://t.co/ByVdMnVqXb— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) June 11, 2023

It’s quite important for people to remember their roots as many make it to the top and seemingly forget the life they left behind
