Dwayne Johnson, hot off the heels of Black Adam tanking due to a convergence of both superhero movies and Dwayne Johnson movies being overexposed, comes back to professional wrestling as both a wrestler and a top executive to set up a championship match against his cousin that every wrestling fan had wanted for several years (and one he set up on his now canceled sitcom!). Except WWE, now not having creative written by an old man who can't remember what happened a week ago and with a shitty sense of humor due to serious and credible sexual abuse allegations in the workplace (with a federal investigation that is still ongoing in addition to a civil lawsuit that is not just going after Vince but everyone in the company who enabled him, which, to be clear, is the actual bigger problem with all of this than just some big wrestling show), actually has a wrestling story involving the championship title that fans have invested more than a year in, so now every wrestling fan is vocally angry at The Rock for worming himself into the title picture, a choice Dwayne Johnson made as an executive. Professional wrestling storytelling is truly circular (booing good guy wrestling character The Rock out of the building at the beginning and end of his career).
