In a recent interview with The Town podcast, WWE President Nick Khan discussed several topics, including The Rock’s decision to return to the WWE.

Khan said that The Rock’s decision to return to the WWE and his seat on the TKO board began in conversation with TKO leadership after they officially went public and that having The Rock’s input on TKO business was something that they were desirious of.

Khan said that they wanted to bring The Rock back into the fold, but The Rock was hesitant at the time as he needed to figure out the why, with Khan noting that the TKO board are very growth-minded and that the time was finally right.

Khan also noted that The Rock will be filming his A24 movie on former MMA fighter Mark Kerr shortly after WrestleMania, and will then move on to working on the live action Moana movie for Disney after that.
