Following his special appearance at the game, Dwayne Johnson tweeted that he'd always dreamt of pursuing a career in the NFL and winning a Super Bowl one day.
The Hollywood star reflected that he'd failed to achieve that goal, but ultimately fulfilled it in a different way by announcing the teams from the field:
"My long time dream was to have a career in the @NFL & win a #SuperBowl. I failed at that.But last night my dream came true..in a different way ☺️Thank you NFL, players/coaches for the amazing love & trust.Thank U fans 🌍 for the INSANE POSITIVE ENERGY 🤯🤯🔥🔥 🎤#grateful🙏🏾" Dwayne Johnson tweeted.
The Great One's failure in the NFL may have been a blessing in disguise, as it allowed him to devote himself to WWE. There he flourished and found his true calling as an actor and entertainer.
All these years later, The People's Champion is undoubtedly the epitome of sports entertainment.
