Famous American actor and former wrestler Dwayne Johnson has joined the board of directors of TKO Group Holdings, Inc, which was created after the merger of the UFC and WWE.
The organization's press office quotes executive chairman of the board Vince McMahon as saying:
Very few people on the planet understand the convergence of sports, entertainment, media, and business like Rock. We are proud to have him join the TKO board to help take our company to new heights.
TKO Group Holdings, Inc was founded in the summer of 2023 after the merger of WWE and UFC. Dana White rose from the position of president to the title of CEO of the UFC at that time.
Johnson spent eight years in the WWE before beginning his acting career. His movies have grossed over $3.5 billion in North America and over $10.5 billion worldwide, making him one of the highest-grossing and highest-paid actors in the world.
