Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has more shares in TKO as of September 3, 2025.
The Rock has become a controversial figure among many WWE fans due to his abrupt departure from a prominent storyline in 2025. Be that as it may, the truth is, this does not affect his star power. It is evident every time he pops up on WWE TV, whether as the villainous “Final Boss” character or as the “People’s Champion” babyface.
Aside from his on-screen bravado personas and in-ring prowess, Dwayne Johnson is also a box office attraction in Hollywood. Most recently, though, he has self-admittedly shifted his focus to reinventing himself as an actor with his new biopic based on UFC veteran Mark Kerr, The Smashing Machine. He received a standing ovation for his performance as the titular character at the film’s premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
Johnson is also evidently an aggressive businessman. His role as a member of the Board of Directors for TKO allows him to be a key decision-maker within the company. His appointment at TKO in January 2024 had also granted him full ownership of his “The Rock” trademark. As per the recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), he has expanded his ownership shares in TKO Group Holdings, Inc.
The Rock Now Directly Owns 354,045 Shares Of TKO, The Parent Company Of WWE And UFC
The SEC Form 4, dated September 3, 2025, revealed that The Rock acquired 8,046 shares of TKO’s Class A Common Stock on August 31. The shares were obtained through the scheduled vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs) that were part of his board compensation package. This transaction has got him 354,045 ownership shares of TKO.
For those who are unfamiliar with “Form 4,” it has to be filed under the SEC by company insiders–directors, executives, and large shareholders–to disclose any changes in stock ownership. The filing’s “M” transaction code confirms this was the exercise of derivative securities conversion, meaning the RSUs were converted to common stock in this case.
As for his role as The Final Boss on WWE TV, it appears wrestling fans will have to wait for his in-ring return.
