Fans regard Dwayne Johnson as a WWE legend. Some of his fans even consider him one of the most entertaining stars in Hollywood. However, that’s not all that The Rock has done in his life. The former wrestler used to study at the University of Miami and played among the several notable alumni of their football team, Miami Hurricanes.

The Hollywood star is one of the most notable alumni of the football team. So, when Johnson made a massive donation to the team, the department felt highly grateful for the generosity and decided to name their locker room after the WWE Champion. They decided to renovate the locker room, using the funds Johnson donated.

Due to his professional success, The Rock became one of the most popularly notable alumni of the Miami Hurricanes. Hence, the college team named their locker “Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Locker Room” to honor the superstar. Johnson donated $1 million to the renovation fund of the team. These funds were then used in 2022 to give the locker room a brand-new look.

Now that Johnson has reposted the renovated room after a year to show off and promote his former team, fans joined him in the comment section. While some comments are discussing the donation The Rock made last year, others are mesmerized by the renovation itself.
