Dwayne Johnson is one of the most famous individuals in this world right now. After enjoying success in WWE, Dwayne Johnson made his mark in the Hollywood world.

Though Dwayne Johnson is his real name, some individuals know him better by his ring name, The Rock. A few people also refer to him as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

The Rock is Dwayne Johnson’s WWE ring name. But interestingly, it is Johnson himself, who owns his WWE ring name.

Back in 2004, in an interview on The Howard Stern Show, Dwayne Johnson claimed he is the one who owns his ring name (The Rock), not Vince McMahon or WWE.

He said, “I actually own it. I have always been billed as The Rock, but over time, especially this past year, it’s been a media thing, like they have been writing and putting out there Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.”
