Dwayne Johnson is one of the most admired athletes because of the brand he built out of his wrestling career, eventually making him one of the highest-paid Hollywood actors. The fame that The Rock has is also something that Travis Kelce is a fan of. Johnson’s success is what led the NFL star to become the superstar that he is today.
Despite being well-known in the NFL, in a recent interview, the Chiefs tight end said that he wanted to be as popular as Dwayne Johnson. Although he thought the task would be next to impossible, his managers thought otherwise.
Dwayne Johnson set the inspiration for Travis Kelce’s success
The WWE legend’s professional success puts him in the limelight for anyone who wishes to achieve a similar level of satisfaction from their professional life. This was evidenced by when Kelce spotted several billboards featuring the legendary wrestler, upon which he remarked that he also wanted to achieve fame close to the level of Dwayne Johnson. His managers, Aaron and Andre Eanes made sure to fulfill his dream.

As the story goes, Travis Kelce was driving around Los Angeles with his business managers, the Eanes brothers. They came across a billboard featuring “The Brahma Bull” that made Kelce think out loud. He said, “Man, I don’t think I’ll ever be as famous as the Rock.” While talking to The New York Times, his managers recalled responding to him, saying, “We’re like, Yes, you can.”
Eventually, his 2023 grew to be bigger than expected. In February, the tight end and his team the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl. In March, Kelce hosted SNL and starred in seven national TV commercials. Not only was his co-hosted podcast among the most popular on Spotify, but he also launched a clothing line with his team. To put the cherry on top, he also found himself dating Taylor Swift, which also helped expand his fanbase to an audience that didn’t know much about the NFL.
His managers deserve their due credit, as they are the ones who oversee a lot of what is on Kelce’s plate.
Whether his fame has grown as big as Dwayne Johnson’s is debatable, but we cannot overlook the fact that it was a good professional year for Kelce, launching him closer to his ultimate goal. Meanwhile, Johnson continues to benefit WWE mutually, using the fame that he earned along the way.
Dwayne Johnson launches himself in a new feud
Despite his absence from the world of wrestling, Johnson isn’t easily intimidated by younger wrestlers on the roster. First, he humbled the former US Champion of WWE and, when he returned on New Year’s Day, he challenged his cousin for his position as the Head of the Table.
