00:00 How did The Rock become a corporate board member in WWE?
00:07 There is no denying that The Rock is easily one of the biggest names to come out of pro
00:12 wrestling and break big in Hollywood, but his return to WWE is much more than what you
00:18 see in the ring.
00:20 In January, TKO, the new parent company of WWE, named him to the board of WWE, where
00:26 he'll have a significant influence outside of the ring as well as inside the ring.
00:32 His relationship with Nick Khan goes back well before his wrestling days, so that makes
00:37 the transition into WWE's executive branch pretty seamless.
00:41 It also helps that The Rock has been successful being a producer in his own right with his
00:45 7 Bucks production and multiple different products with his name on it.
00:49 While The Rock's storyline with Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes heats up, we can only wonder
00:55 how interesting it'll be for him behind the scenes running the ship of WWE.
