Cena earned an estimated $2,649,836 while Johnson earned $992,114 based on their merchandise sales on WWE Shop.

“My next project that I will be shooting is a live-action version of Moana. I am the real-life Maui. Thank you guys very much. I’m so excited about this. It’s such an incredible story that resonates with everybody around the world, especially young girls.
