Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had missed multiple TKO meetings last year, but that didn’t stop him from earning big. He was the only TKO Board member to miss more than 25 percent of meetings in 2025, as per the company’s annual proxy report filed with the SEC.
The report showed that during TKO’s 2025 fiscal year, the board met five times.
The report suggests that each incumbent director attended at least 75 percent of the meetings except for Johnson. The filing did not specify exactly how many meetings The Rock missed or provide reasons for his absences.
The Rock’s Royalty Earnings From TKO
The same SEC filing revealed that Johnson earned a staggering $900,000 in royalties from TKO during the 2025 fiscal year. These royalties are separate from any compensation he receives for wrestling appearances or board duties.
He also earned $600,000 in reimbursements for travel expenses associated with delivering services under what the filing refers to as the Johnson Services Agreement. It was to cover his appearances at the January 6 Raw on Netflix premiere, the following night on NXT, and the Elimination Chamber.
Johnson joined the TKO Board of Directors following the merger of WWE and UFC under the TKO Group Holdings umbrella. He has balanced his board responsibilities with his Hollywood career and occasional WWE appearances.
