Raw to move to Netflix in 2025 in the USA, Canada, UK, and Latin America. I wonder if that will eventually affect Australian broadcasts.

Wow! The Rock is now on the board of directors for TKO (parent company of WWE and UFC). He also now fully owns the rights to 'The Rock' name.

The Anoa' i - Maivia family is dominating WWE:

*The Rock is now on the TKO board
*The bloodline dominates Smackdown television
*Roman Reigns has been champ for 1200+ days
*The Rock vs Reigns is the likely Wrestlemania 40 Main Event.
*And now Ava is GM of NXT

The Corporate Rock is back.

Such a good call!

By the way, Corporate Rock was awesome. I'd love it if Dwayne brought back the smug, arrogant, versace-shirt wearing, insult throwing version of The Rock when he is on tv.

Forbes have stated that The Rock will receive $30,000,000 worth of stock as part of the deal that has him join the TKO board.

So, Dwayne gets a seat on the board, $30,000,000 in stock, and the ownership of the trademark of the name 'The Rock'. I wonder what he has to do in return. I wonder if he is contracted to work X amount of hours for TKO or do X amount of appearances for WWE. I haven't been able to find this out anywhere.

I've also been wondering if WWE need to license the usage of the name 'The Rock' back from Dwayne in order to sell merchandise now.

Bleacher Report think that:

*Gunther will win the Men's Royal Rumble
* WM will be Rollins vs Gunther, Cody vs Punk, and Reigns vs Rock

Gunther's odds dropped dramatically for the rumble.

Rumble marathon on the WWE YouTube channel and currently up to 2008.

Gunther's odds dropped dramatically for the rumble.

Interesting to see how they would book this given his travel restrictions due to visa issues and since the Bash in Berlin PLE in August could be a great crowning moment. Expecting Brock to return at the Rumble for mania season and Gunther would be the prime candidate for a Mania match for the intercontinental championship.

Doubt if Brock will be their after the allegations.
