Dwayne Douglas Johnson, more commonly known as Dwayne The Rock Johnson has been with the WWE since 1996. He debuted in 1996 as Rocky Maivia as a third generation wrestler. This gimmick was not so successful and he changed his name to just "The Rock" and was hugely popular. He is a multiple time WWF/WWE champion. After 2003, he hasn't been a full time wrestler and has concentrated on his acting career in Hollywood.

Dwayne Johnson made his WWF debut as Rocky Maivia, which combined his father and grandfather's ring names; Johnson was initially reluctant to the idea, but was persuaded to go ahead with the name by Vince McMahon and Jim Ross.

In addition to taking on the nickname " The Blue Chipper " the WWF played up his connection to his father and grandfather, calling him the company's first third-generation wrestler.

He made his debut at the 1996 Pay-Per View Survivor Series.

He participated in a Four-on-four Survivor Series elimination match and teamed with ;

  • Marc Mero
  • Jake ' the Snake ' Roberts
