Dwayne Johnson is one of the most established actors in the world and is constantly making headlines for one reason or another. The American actor who first rose to fame as a wrestler at WWF(later WWE) went on to become one of the most successful actors in the industry.
Johnson has made many successful ventures over the years and has been a part of the mainstream media for years and it seems like the Baywatch star is showing no signs of slowing down as he recently became a board member of TKO holding group, the parent company of WWE and UFC merger.
Amid all this, the ex-chairman of WWE, Vince McMahon has also found himself in a legal hassle.
