The Rock is trading in his wrestling gear for a movie script! After his epic return to WrestleMania 40, he’s now diving into his latest film project, “The Smashing Machine.”

This movie tells the true story of Mark Kerr, a legendary mixed martial arts champion. The Rock will play Kerr, showcasing both his triumphs in the octagon and his personal battles outside of it.

From Wrestling Ring to Big Screen

The Rock is known for his dedication, and he’s already begun training hard for the role. He recently shared a glimpse of his training on social media, thanking a gym for allowing him to use their facilities.

The Rock is excited to portray Mark Kerr, someone who overcame obstacles both inside and outside the ring. He considers it an honor to tell Kerr’s story and pay respect to MMA fighters and athletes who have struggled with mental health challenges.

While The Rock is focused on acting, his recent comments sparked some debate. Some fans felt he took too much credit for WWE’s success.

Despite this, rumors continue to swirl about a potential return to the wrestling ring in 2024. Only time will tell if The Rock will answer the call for one more match
