    What exactly is TKO actually getting out of this deal? The Rock gets 30 million dollars in stock plus his stage name, and gets to continue his reputation rehab tour, but what does WWE get that they didn’t already have? I’m just not seeing what WWe gets from this other than saying Rock is on the board and conning some people into buying their stock after getting it labeled as “Do not Buy” last month. I just don’t get it, but I’m not a millionaire socialite.
