Dwayne Johnson has been making quite a few headlines recently. Apart from the news about his newest Hollywood projects, there is also a $3,000,000,000 lawsuit that he finds himself in the midst of. While there have been varied reactions to the lawsuit in itself, former NFL star Marcellus Wiley has rather amusing thoughts about the whole situation.

Back in 2022, former TNA Impact and WWE developmental star Trenesha Biggers(a.k.a Rhaka Khan) filed a lawsuit in New York claiming a conspiracy theory against her. In the lawsuit, she accused Dwayne Johnson and his business partner and ex-wife Dani Garcia of kidnapping her and abusing her physically and mentally.
Former NFL star Marcellus Wiley cannot believe Rhaka Khan’s claims
Former NFL defensive end Marcellus Wiley discussed the lawsuit in a video posted to his YouTube channel. In the video, he reads out the details of the lawsuit, including the list of defendants. According to the lawsuit, the defendants include the State of Texas, the NYPD, the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, and the FBI. Can things get worse? Yes, they can.
Wiley then goes on to talk about how Khan’s case will be a difficult one to plead, given that she has a bench warrant out in her name. Apparently, she herself has been charged with interference with child custody, and for being an aggravated kidnapping facilitator. For Wiley, the list of charges against her is a rather damning statement, which could shape the course of this lawsuit.
However, it seems Wiley is more concerned with the effect this lawsuit has on The Rock. For him, the most important thing is getting Johnson back on track to reprise his role in Disney’s live-action movie ‘Moana’. In fact, he is willing to go above and beyond for Dwayne Johnson, saying, “He can use me for an alibi. I’d lie for The Rock to be back in Moana”.
Dwayne Johnson could be in a tight spot with a lawsuit hanging over him
Dwayne Johnson has not been having the best time in Hollywood recently. His new releases, including Black Adam, Jungle Cruise, and Red Notice, are being deemed as failures. Reports suggest that such a situation has forced The Rock to go back to the ‘Fast and the Furious’ franchise. Allegedly, he is also finding it increasingly difficult to get more projects.
On top of that, the emergence of this lawsuit has prompted Disney to allegedly drop him from a potential role in the famous ‘Pirates of The Carribean’ franchise. This means fans would not be seeing much of The Rock on the big screen, apart from his already confirmed projects in the ‘Fast and the Furious’ franchise.
While the damages have been restricted to his Hollywood career, the fact that his business partner Dani Garcia is also involved, can spoil things further. Especially when both of them are the prime icons leading the resurging XFL, a league that is growing tremendously. Will this lawsuit hamper the growth of the budding and exciting XFL? Will it spell the end of The Rock’s Hollywood career?
