TKO, the parent company of WWE, announced in January that The Rock would be part of the board of directors, while also revealing that he would hold full ownership of Johnson's iconic WWE ring name. Reports had later revealed that Johnson could license The Rock name to WWE and make money out of it, while he would also receive around $30 million worth of TKO stock by the end of the year.
