While Dwayne Johnson may have a poor track record regarding his water bottle habits and lateness, some sources close to "Red One's" production came forward to claim that he was typically no more than an hour late to set. Amazon MGM sources also supported Johnson, claiming that "Red One's" budget fluctuation fell within the 15% industry standard, and that the tardiness allegations against the actor were false. 

As of writing, the Christmas-themed action movie only garnered $284 million at the box office, compared to its reported budget of $250 million. It is presumed that this figure includes the $50 million surplus Johnson was alleged to have added to the production costs. The good news, though, is that the movie has been a hit on streaming.

Johnson may be one of the most popular wrestlers and actors of his time, but it seems that many fans of soured on him. Johnson seems to be doing just fine without public approval, with a spot on the TKO executive board and multiple business ventures on his agenda. If his "The Rock's" Bad Blood 2024 appearance says anything, it's that WWE is still open to working with "The Final Boss," regardless of his public reception.
