Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson mocks his own 2017 remake of Baywatch during an appearance on WWE Raw Day 1. In a playful exchange, he uses the movie’s poor reception to insult fellow professional wrestler Jinder Mahal, saying, “No one likes you… if you were one of The Rock’s movies, you’d be Baywatch.” The Baywatch movie, directed by Seth Gordon and co-starring Zac Efron, Priyanka Chopra, Alexandra Daddario, and Jon Bass, received harsh criticism from reviewers and holds a meager 17% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
During the same appearance, Johnson also hinted at potentially facing WWE Champion Roman Reigns in the ring in 2024. Meanwhile, there are rumors that Johnson might star in a reboot of the 1998 Christmas fantasy film Jack Frost, which initially received a poor critical response but has since become a holiday favorite for many fans.
In addition to the potential Jack Frost remake, Johnson is set to appear in another Christmas movie, Red One, directed by Jake Kasdan. The film, slated for a November 15, 2024 release, also stars Chris Evans, Kiernan Shipka, Lucy Liu, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Nick Kroll, Kristofer Hivju, Wesley Kimmel, Bonnie Hunt, and J.K. Simmons as Santa Claus, though plot details remain under wraps.
