The Rock teases a run for President as WWE legend also reveals he is open to returning to

Wrestling legend Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has teased a possible run for President – but only once his young daughters have grown up.

The wrestling great also revealed on Friday that he was ‘locked in’ to face Roman Reigns at this year’s WrestleMania and is ‘open’ to a return in 2024.

Johnson, now 51, has floated a bid for the White House in the past, with his Young Rock TV shows centered around a 2032 bid for the presidency.

Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show this week, The Rock did not rule out a possible run for power in the future, saying: ‘We’ll see.’

‘I don’t know if I’m the right guy or not,’ he explained. ‘I have to tell you: I have been really overwhelmed.

‘It’s so humbling to have people tell me what they tell me and these polls that come out – there was one last year and 40-43 per cent of people said they’d vote for me as president, which I appreciated – thank you so much!

‘From (having) $7 (to my name) to having that kind of conversation is really incredible. Right now, I am a proud girl dad. I have a seven-year-old (Jasmine), I have a five-year-old (Tiana) and I love being at home, taking them to school, picking them up, making cookies and doing that. 

‘And I just know that if something like that – the presidency – would happen all that goes away and I’ve been there before… in wrestling I was gone all the time and I missed so many years with (his eldest daughter Simone, 22) and it’s heartbreaking. 

‘I don’t want that to happen right now with my girls. Now, my girls will eventually grow up and get older and then, maybe? We’ll see.’

‘The Rock headlining WrestleMania with Roman Reigns… that was locked in,’ he said

The Rock announced his retirement from professional wrestling back in 2019 but on Friday, the 51-year suggested he could be back in the ring next year.

He claimed that a headline clash with Roman Reigns was ‘locked in’ for April and that he is open to facing Reigns in Philadephia.

‘The Rock headlining WrestleMania with Roman Reigns at SoFi Stadium – that was locked in,’ he said.

Earlier this week, the WWE’s $21billion merger with the UFC was finally sealed and Johnson explained: ‘We got really close, but we couldn’t figure out what that thing was, so we decided to put our pencils down, and we agreed: “Hey listen, there’s a merger coming up, there’s WrestleMania coming up in Philly, that’ll happen.” I’m saying that is potential too, I’m open.’
