Former WWE superstar and worldwide icon Dwayne Johnson is arguably one of the most recognised voices in the entertainment industry. From hosting WrestleMania to opening several high-profile events, The Rock is widely known to hype things up with his exuberant personality. The Super Bowl LIV in Miami went all out in its celebration and had Dwayne Johnson introduce the main event and the two teams.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson introduced the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs players before the Super Bowl LIV on Sunday night (Monday IST). The Rock combined his WWE promo skills and natural aura to introduce both the teams, which also included a rendition of Wilbert Harrison's song 'Kansas City' for the Chiefs. While the stunning half-time show featuring Shakira and Jennifer Lopez was lauded by fans, Dwayne Johnson provided the foundation for the Super Bowl LIV.
