The Hollywood icon returned to the squared circle more than ten years after his last significant match, teaming with Roman Reigns to defeat Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes in the opening night’s main event. Following the win, the main event of the second night was fought under Bloodline Rules, and it was highly praised for being a wild event, including numerous guest appearances.

The Rock’s first match since joining the TKO Board of Directors, which has also been mentioned in WrestleMania pre-storylines, occurred during the match. The former World Champion was expected to collect $30 million in equity, according to corporate records made public shortly after he joined the board. Rock reportedly received a multi-million-dollar payout after the events in Philadelphia, according to newly released documents.

Rock was granted 96,558 shares of Class A common stock, which are defined as “restricted stock units that vested upon completion of certain services described in that Independent Contractor Services and Merchandising Agreement” in the most recent SEC filing from TKO Holdings. The return to the ring at WrestleMania signified the fulfillment of certain services.

According to Brandon Thurston’s analysis, the shares that were granted to The Rock are today valued at $9.41 million, taking into account the current share price. The 96,558 restricted shares are listed in earlier documentation that was released on January 23rd, which indicates that this $9.41 million is a portion of the $30 million in stock that was agreed upon when he joined the board.
