Adam Ray will portray the CEO of WWE. Ray is an American actor and comedian and has featured in movies like Ghostbusters, Second Act and The Heat. He even starred in Dwayne Johnson’s Ballers, Rick and Morty, 2 Broke Girls and Silicon Valley.
Ray doesn’t exactly fit the description of a young Vince McMahon, and his acting is yet to be seen. However, the show’s producers nailed the casting of Kevin Makely as Macho Man Randy Savage. Makely is an actor and producer, featuring in the Netflix special Badland.
Portraying characters as complex as Vince McMahon and Savage need a lot of focus and skill. Needless to say, Ray and Makely probably have to be as skilled as the people they portray to nail this role.
What can we expect from Young Rock?
The show will provide an insight into the life of a young Dwayne Johnson. Surrounded by larger-than-life characters and wrestlers with intense personalities, The Rock’s childhood must’ve been quite a ride.

Through his father, wrestlers surrounded Dwayne Johnson all his life. These wrestlers served as inspirations to the young People’s Champion, none more so than his father.
His maternal lineage belongs to a long line of fighters, the Great Samoans. From the Wild Samoans, to Roman Reigns and Jey Uso, the Samoan lineage has churned out some of the best wrestlers in the world.
