A fortunate admirer of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was able to secure a ticket to WrestleMania through a long-term display of his passion.
The 51-year-old WWE star posted a video on Friday of his recent interaction with a fan named Ruben Rodriguez, who later had The Rock’s signature permanently inked on his arm.
Very nice. Love things such as this,’ he said in the caption. You’ve probably heard me say this a lot, but the nicest part of being famous is having moments like these with other people.

I went to a @TARGET store to surprise @PAPATUI_, and as I was leaving, this guy ran through the store and yelled my name.
Johnson went on, “Says,’sign my arm Rock and I’ll get it tattooed along with getting your Brahma bull tattoo.” “I put my signature on it.” He receives two tattoos. He hits the mark.
Inspired by his Taurus sign, Johnson’s favorite animal and nickname is the Brahma Bull, which he initially had tattooed of.
“Then I bring him and his family TO WRESTLEMANIA!” he continued. We both had great weekends that we will always remember!
I’m grateful that you, my brother, are rocking the tattoos! Love to you and your loved ones! – The ultimate boss
Rodriguez revealed the tattoo on X, the defunct Twitter platform, last month, gushing about how Johnson was a “childhood hero of mine.”
I got to share this special moment with my kid, and I will treasure it for the rest of my life. I promised Rock that I would get my arm tatted and that I would keep my word if he signed it. Hook us up with #IfYaSmell Wrestlemania Tickets,” he continued.
He got his request granted by The Rock, who gave him and his family a complimentary ticket to WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia this month.

“Holy shit, you pulled it off!” That’s the genuine article of authenticity and bull right there! It looks fantastic! He replied in writing.
Johnson said, “You and the Final Boss are both men of their word.” “Get ready, because you’re heading to @wwe #WrestleMania with your daughter.”
Later, Rodriguez thanked Johnson and told X about some of his memories from the momentous day.
“There are not enough words to describe how grateful and fortunate I am for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” I will always cherish the moments I created this past weekend,’ he wrote. “You are and always will be THE PEOPLE’S CHAMPION, Rock. Thank you.”
This month, WrestleMania 40 surpassed 660 million views on social media to become the highest-grossing event in the WWE history.
After revealing the bout last month, Johnson stole the show as he and cousin Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
Johnson and Reigns, 38, had already hinted at the match during his unexpected visit on Friday Night Smackdown in February. This will be their first match in eight years.
“There might be” more matches in the future, the Final Boss hinted, adding, “I love what I do.” We’ll see.

Following TKO’s acquisition of the wrestling business in January, Johnson was appointed to the board of directors for the company. This marks his most recent return to the WWE.
“My crazy life is coming full circle, and being on the TKO Board of Directors and taking full ownership of my name, “The Rock,” is not only unprecedented, but incredibly inspiring,” he remarked at the time.
Johnson is expected to get more over $9 million in shares from TKO after WrestleMania 40.
