WrestleMania 40 concluded with a twist for The Rock, as his showdown with Cody Rhodes didn’t end in victory.
Despite the disappointment, the TKO board member found solace in the event’s success, dubbed as the greatest WrestleMania ever.
But just how lucrative was the weekend for The Brahma Bull?
According to Brandon Thurston, The Rock received a substantial 96,558 TKO shares post-WrestleMania, valued at an impressive $9.41 million.
These shares were earned for services rendered during the event, indicating the significant contribution he made to its success.
Despite the physical toll of his performance, The Rock hinted at a hiatus from the WWE ring, opting for a break from pro wrestling.
