Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in the world of professional wrestling, The Brahma Bull has managed to make his name outside the circuits of professional wrestling. 

He transitioned to Hollywood in 2004 and performed in multiple global hits from the Fast and Furious series to Black Adam, Rampage, and many more. 

The Rock recently appeared on Day 1 of Monday Night Raw, and he almost confirmed his mega-match with Roman Reigns. 

Every time The Rock appeared on the WWE program, he managed to break the viewership and social media records. 

Fans often wonder why WWE never announces The Rock on show. Pre-announcing The Rock can profit WWE in multiple ways from merchandise sales, Television viewership, ticket sales, and more. 


In a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed why WWE never pre-announces The Rock’s WWE return as it would be great for television ratings and other aspects of business without a doubt.

Meltzer said, “He's (The Rock) doing this for fun because he doesn't have to do it. And he's doing it for excitement. That type of thing. That's why when he came back Monday, it wasn't announced at a time like if they had announced that ahead of time."

He further explained, “The rating would have been much higher, much higher than it was. He was doing it because in that case, he wanted that pop because of people in the building not knowing he was going to be there. And there he is. That's what he wants. Every time he comes back, they never announce it ahead of time.”
