Legendary WWE Hall of Famer, Paul Heyman, talked about collaborating with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, highlighting the difficulty in managing his diverse responsibilities. The Rock made his comeback to the storyline of Bloodline in 2024. His much-anticipated ring return took place during the initial night of WWE WrestleMania 40. Partnering with Roman Reigns, he successfully defeated Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
By the beginning of 2024, following his comeback to WWE, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson assumed a position on the board of directors for TKO Group Holdings – the umbrella corporation that encompasses both WWE and UFC. Not long after this appointment, he made a surprising turn as a villain (heel) in WWE television for the first time in many years. This transformation was marked by his association with The Bloodline and frequent collaborations with Paul Heyman, resulting in numerous unforgettable scenes.
On the opening night of WWE RAW on Netflix, The Rock reappeared, paying tribute to Roman Reigns following his bout against Solo Sikoa. As WrestleMania 41’s final boss role remains undecided, Paul Heyman recently discussed the hurdles involved in collaborating with The Rock within WWE’s creative sphere.

Paul Heyman opens up about the balancing act of working with The Rock in WWE
Paul Heyman recently discussed with the New York Post the difficulties of incorporating Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson into WWE’s storylines. He pointed out that The Rock’s involvement transcends his role as an in-ring performer, as he also plays a significant part in the company’s upper management.
Heyman stated that, much like Dwayne’s roles in movies differ significantly between being an actor and an executive producer, a similar distinction exists for someone on the board of directors compared to their role as a board member. Essentially, Dwayne isn’t just a talent; he plays an active part in decision-making, akin to a board member.
He added, ‘The creativity must move smoothly within this space, and he needs to be integrated into that smooth transition. It’s a delicate act, and I believe we’re all figuring out how to strike that balance in the potential Rock project.’
On NXT: New Year’s Evil, The Rock hinted that he has a 20-step advantage over others. Whether or not he will appear at WWE WrestleMania 31 remains unclear, leaving fans eager to discover what happens next for “The Final Boss.
