NJPW Name Comments On WWE’s The Rock Wearing Logo T-Shirt

A NJPW name has reacted to WWE’s The Rock sporting a T-shirt featuring the New Japan Pro-Wrestling logo on social media.

In a post on Instagram, The Rock tackled a Rubik’s Cube while wearing the NJPW logo T-shirt, with his comment reading:

“Slightly intellectually intimidated, but keeping faith alive.”

The presence of the Final Boss in an NJPW T-shirt wasn’t missed by many fans in his comments and on social media.

While The Rock hasn’t addressed his sartorial choices, an NJPW content producer and commentator has shared his thoughts during an appearance on Busted Open Radio.

Walker Stewart, the English language commentator and content producer for NJPW, reflecting on the viral nature of the post but doubted it was a precursor to anything in particular, saying:

“You know, whether it’s a matter of putting something out in the world, I’m not certain. I know one thing’s for certain is that New Japan Pro-Wrestling has a wonderful relationship with AEW and a lot of other organizations and partner companies that I know they’re very happy and satisfied with.

“Now, if there is an intention on one side or another, I’m not privy to. That’s leagues and leagues above my paygrade. But, I mean, popped me.

“The Rock wearing a New Japan shirt solving the Rubik’s Cube. Hell yeah. I can’t stop seeing it all over Twitter. It’s getting people to talk a little bit about New Japan Pro-Wrestling after we just had a massive event in the United States. There’s no way I can really see that as a negative.

“Now, if I have any insight as to anything, whether it is The Rock or as if I’m on a first-name basis with the man. Right in my contact list, right? He’s on speed dial.

“If I have any information about whether TKO or The Rock or anything like that wanted to do business with New Japan, that’s not really my place to say. I don’t have any intel on that side. But, it would be interesting.

“Anything can happen in the world of pro wrestling. I feel like we always say that and I don’t wanna cast any doubt where I have no knowledge but yeah, I think just leave it at that.”

The AEW and NJPW partnership will see the companies come together for Forbidden Door, with its London, England venue confirmed for the August 24, 2025, show.
