Young Rock season 3 plot

When viewers last caught up with Dwayne Johnson (Uli Latukefu), he was making his not-so-triumphant debut in 1997's WrestleMania. However, NBC teases that fans should expect to see 'The Rock' rise to prominence in the WWE in season 3. 

Additionally, as always, the show will jump through time periods in Johnson's life to show all the trials and tribulations that went into forming the man he is today. Well, the man he is in 2032. Remember, as the real Rock anchors the show with his own narrations, he's fictionally running for President of the United States roughly ten years from now.
