Before becoming the most popular movie star on the planet, Dwayne Johnson was the most popular professional wrestler on the planet.
Under the moniker of The Rock, Johnson would prove to be one of the most decorated and beloved WWE Superstars of all time due to his charisma and his ability to connect with the crowd.
After spending some time focused on Hollywood, Johnson returned to the WWE, not just as a wrestler, but as a member of TKO’s board of directors.
That being said, the Final Boss hasn’t been seen since he last appeared at WrestleMania 40. However, it looks like the WWE Universe will be seeing more of Johnson in the near future.
In a recent interview with Jess Battison of LADbible, Johnson explained how much professional wrestling and WWE mean to him and that he wants to be involved in the future of the company.
“I feel like it’s in my blood,” Johnson said. “I came along in the 90s and wrestled for Vince into the 2000s, so there’s some real connective tissue that goes back generations.
“And for that I will forever be grateful, because it provided me a platform and a way to express myself in ways that nothing else would allow, other than acting. So the opportunity for me to become a director, sit on the board, take that position, is just another way that I could help the company grow.”
“Any opportunity I can to go back and not only make appearances but help to expand the company, whether domestically or globally, I always go back. And it’s also part of my obligation that I happily do.”
Since his return in 2023, Johnson has been an integral part of the Bloodline story, attempting to help Roman Reigns retain the WWE Championship. However, they were unable to do so, leading to Cody Rhodes taking the title.
Now, the Bloodline is split in half, with Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa on one side and Reigns, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, and potentially Sami Zayn on the other.
Johnson’s return has been hinted at for a while, but no one knows exactly which side he’ll choose.
In the end, Johnson is going to do what’s best for business, and given that Reigns’ side has multiple people who have turned on the family, don’t be surprised to see him siding and even taking control from Sikoa.
Going to Crewe, where Bentley is headquartered in the U.K., wasn’t an option, so it came to us. And it came packing cases full of exterior color swatches, interior veneer samples, and strips of leather upholstery in nearly every color you can think of. It felt a little bit like being unleashed in a candy shop, except at the end you get a car instead of a bag of jellybeans.
On its website, Bentley boasts a baseline of 101 exterior colors, though you can expand this list to include any color from the luxury marque’s past, as well as opt for bespoke paint-matched hues. Interior leather choices offer 22 primary colors, 11 secondary shades, six accent colors, and various contrast stitching and piping options. There are eight wood veneer options with multiple finishes, which can also be paint-matched to any interior leather or exterior paint color. There are, according to Bentley, “10s of billions” of combinations—and this is all before Mulliner gets involved.
See, Mulliner is who you call when a so-called off-the-rack Bentley won’t cut it. This is the team that works with you if you want, oh, a personalized 278,566-stitch motif hand-crafted across the upper seat backs and door panels. (Yes, it’s actually happened before.) The sky’s the limit as long as the car passes the appropriate safety and materials tests.
If you occupy this stratosphere, you lucky dog, Bentley will introduce you to someone like Georgia Gough, a Mulliner bespoke design consultant and one with a handy background in textiles. Gough brought her computer, which runs a super-advanced version of a Bentley customization tool. She can change minute details down to the type of stitching on the steering wheel.
