With the help of this reply, we got to know that the report claim was not true. Even if Johnson is challenging the TV-PG ratings, he hasn’t been approached by the TKO board regarding the same. So, you can continue to enjoy the promos that he brings to the weekly shows whenever he appears.

However, The People’s Champion could be in trouble outside of his TKO domain. This is because there is a legal threat looming over his head due to something that he said in a recent segment.

Dwayne Johnson may have to take back one of his recent monikers

In an Instagram post, the Hollywood superstar claimed that he is the “final boss” of Cody Rhodes‘ story in WWE. Although Rhodes is set to face the former wrestler’s cousin at WrestleMania 40, he is still actively involved in the feud due to the ongoing storyline. After Johnson assumed the moniker of the “final boss” for his feud against The American Nightmare, Booker T reacted to the incident on his podcast.

Along with the co-host, he revealed that they are going to make Johnson answerable for using this moniker without asking Ryan Davidson. Now that Johnson hasn’t done the same, the WWE legend said that he would like to settle this matter with him.
