The United States of America wants to see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as their next president. For years now, the fans have been wanting to see the Hollywood actor as the POTUS, but he always rejected the idea. He claimed that being a wrestler robbed him of his time with his eldest daughter, Simone Johnson. Therefore, he doesn’t want to repeat his mistakes with his other two daughters.

But lately, ‘The Great One’ seems to have changed his mind. He has been dropping hints about his potential presidential run in 2024. His recent appearance at WWE Raw Day 1 may be an indication of his intention to run for the presidency.

His WWE return can be interpreted as him reaching out to the WWE audience in an attempt to gain more exposure and attract potential voters.

Is Johnson even fit to wrestle?

When ‘The Brahma Bull’ returned to WWE this week, it was mind-blowing. Everyone was so busy gushing over his comeback that they might have missed a minute, yet a very significant detail of his Monday Night Raw appearance. He interrupted Jinder Mahal‘s segment and even flattened the former WWE Champion in the middle of the ring.

When Mahal attacked him he countered it with some blows of his own and spine-bustered the ‘Modern day Maharaja’ onto the mat. He followed it up with a People’s Elbow before picking up the mic to address the WWE Universe. An interesting thing to note was, while speaking, Johnson was panting heavily as if he just came out of an exhaustive and long duel, which wasn’t the case.

This is a far cry from the cardio The Rock displayed during his 30 minute mania main event classics with Stone Cold. Being out of breath and getting winded easily from just delivering a couple of moves on Mahal may be a signal of his inability to wrestle. This could mean his return was primarily to promote his potential candidacy. It has been more than a decade since ‘The Rock’ had a proper match in WWE, which could be the reason why he got so exhausted very quickly.
