Dwayne Johnson Returns To The WWE 4 Years After Retiring

Four years after his retirement from professional wrestling, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is back in the WWE. Following in his family’s footsteps, Johnson, who is now a leading actor and a box office star, began his career as a wrestler after his football dreams ended. He fought in the WWE — then the World Wrestling Federation — from 1996 on and won the Intercontinental Championship just one year into his career. Already a legendary figure, Johnson spent years wrestling against international competition. He would only leave to pursue an acting career.
