The Rock showcased a remarkable performance at WrestleMania 40. The main event on Sunday saw Cody Rhodes dethrone Roman Reigns as the Undisputed Universal Champion and The Rock was heavily involved on both nights of the show. Following his exemplary performance, ‘The Great One’ has earned almost $10 million in TKO stock after The Showcase of The Immortals.
‘The Final Boss’ was granted 96,558 shares of TKO Group Holdings Class A common stock on Sunday, April 7th after his return to the ring at WrestleMania 40 as per Brandon Thurston. These shares hold an approximate value of $9.4 million.
As per a recent financial filing, the previously restricted stock units vested upon the completion of certain services outlined in his Independent Contractor Services and Merchandising Agreement dated January 22, 2024.
It is quite interesting that Dwayne Johnson joined TKO’s 13-person Board of Directors the day after, highlighting his expanded role within the company.
As per the agreement, WWE has been granted permission to use The Rock’s name, image and likeness for a period of ten years. In exchange, The Rock is entitled to receive approximately 400,000 shares of TKO stock, which is currently valued at around $39 million.
As per Sportico, the first 25% of shares were awarded in January when the deal was completed. The next 25% will be awarded at the end of the year. Another 25% was distributed monthly throughout 2025 and the remaining 25% was the completion of the ‘certain services.’
