Since 2001, he has focused on an acting career, though there are still occasional Dwayne Johnson appearances on WWE for promotional purposes. His last in-ring appearance was at WrestleMania XX in 2004.
Johnson was a nine-time world champion in his career, including a record-setting seven-time WWE Champion. In 2002, he savored his last reign as WWE Undisputed Champion. He also won the WWF Intercontinental Championship twice and is a former five-time WWF Tag Team Champion. In 2000, he was named winner of the Royal Rumble.
