The Rock has revealed why he turned down the opportunity to host the 2022 Emmy Awards.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and has a hectic schedule. That schedule is apparently the reason why he declined his latest offer.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, the WWE legend revealed that he passed on the offer to host the 2022 Emmy Awards due to scheduling conflict.

He said:

“It was just schedule. I was really, truly honored when they came to me and asked, but it was just a scheduling thing. That’s all. That’s really what it comes down to,”

The Rock’s new animated film “DC League of Super Pets” is set to hit theaters on July 29, while he will also star in the upcoming “Black Adam” movie that will be released on October 21.

In other Rock-related news, his daughter and WWE NXT up-and-comer Ava Raine recently made her debut at a NXT house show last Friday, July 8.

The Primetime Emmy Awards will air on September 12 on NBC.
