In a surprising turn of events, WWE has witnessed significant upheavals in recent weeks, with the unexpected inclusion of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson on the TKO board of directors.
As the anticipation for the Hall of Fame ceremony builds, wrestling aficionado Bill Apter has put forth an intriguing scenario wherein The Rock emerges as the headline inductee.
In WrestleMania storylines, The Rock has assumed the role of a formidable heel, solidifying his status as one of the most influential figures in professional wrestling today.
During a compelling discussion on the latest UnSKripted episode, the prospect of inducting The Rock into the Hall of Fame this year was deliberated upon.
Despite discussions surrounding The Great One’s induction lingering for years, bestowing this honor upon him in 2024 could prove particularly advantageous for WWE.
Bill Apter delved into the potential ramifications of The Rock’s induction, emphasizing how it would substantiate assertions of the Hollywood luminary wielding considerable influence within the company.
According to the seasoned journalist, The Brahma Bull could potentially orchestrate his own induction into the hallowed Hall of Fame.
“I think the Rock would be an excellent choice to be in that building on Friday night and get inducted into the Hall of Fame. Although, there is another angle there. Of course, he is going to be in the Hall of Fame, and he is on the Board of Directors. It’s a conflict of interest, but maybe it’s not in that contract. So this gives more credence to his, ‘I can do what I want because I’m on the board of directors. I choose me to be in the Hall of Fame. The Rock chose himself to be in the WWE Hall of Fame. What a headline.” [From 10:22 onwards]
Apter embraced the notion of The Rock headlining the Hall of Fame ceremony, pondering whether the electrifying icon would encounter vehement boos from the audience during the event.
Meanwhile, Dwayne Johnson has embraced his Hollywood Rock persona, embroiling himself alongside his cousin Roman Reigns in a riveting feud against Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins, a storyline brimming with potential implications for the WrestleMania card.
