Dwayne Johnson Excludes Vince McMahon From TKO Announcement

On January 23rd, TKO Group Holdings announced that Dwayne Johnson has been appointed to the board of directors. The company held a ceremony at the New York Stock Exchange to welcome Johnson to the board. Ari Emanuel, Vince McMahon, Nick Khan, Paul Levesque, and several others attended the event.

Last week, Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and WWE caused turmoil in the pro wrestling world and mainstream media. McMahon later resigned from the TKO board and Executive Chairman positions.

On X, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson posted a video clip of last Tuesday’s ceremony. Johnson has cropped out Vince McMahon from the clip. In the caption, The Rock thanked Ari Emanuel, Mark Shapiro, Nick Khan, and Paul Levesque.

“My honor to join @TKOGrp Board of Directors
(parent co who owns @WWE @UFC)

An historic day of big business with deep and personal “life comes full circle” significance for me.

I have the privilege now to sit at the table, that my grandfather and my dad helped to build.

Now the fun part – we go to work.

We build.

Thanks to all you guys out there for your support and hype.

And thank you to my TKO/WWE partners-

Ari Emmanuel 
Mark Shapiro
Nick Khan 
Paul “Triple H” Levesque
