ICONS ON TV
DWAYNE “THE ROCK” JOHNSON and STING were the biggest draws for WWE Smackdown and AEW Dynamite, respectively.
STILL ROCKIN’ THE RATINGS
DWAYNE JOHNSON CHANGED the entire dynamic in WWE by announcing his intention to face Universal champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. Last issue, we mentioned how The Rock’s return segment on the January 1 edition of Raw attracted 2,150,000 viewers.
At least it made for good ratings. Aside from his controversial appearance at the WM 40 press conference in Las Vegas, Johnson adjusted his busy Hollywood schedule to squeeze in three Smackdown TV bookings.
