Dwayne Johnson is a man of integrity, and this is reflected in an encounter with one of his devoted fans, Ruben Rodriguez, at a Target store.

Rodriguez, a lifelong admirer, made a bold offer: if Johnson signed his arm, he would have it tattooed permanently.

True to his word, he visited a tattoo artist. He did not only get his dream come true, but he’s getting a free ride to WrestleMania!

Rodriguez unveiled his new tattoo on social media earlier this week, and when Johnson saw it, he was blown away, according to TMZ.

“Dude holy s*** you did it!!” The Rock replied on X. “That’s the authentic real deal signature & bull right there! Looks amazing!”

Impressed by Rodriguez’s dedication, Johnson generously arranged for Rodriguez’s family to enjoy an all-expenses-paid trip to Philadelphia for WrestleMania, which is set to take place this weekend in the City of Brotherly Love.

“You’re a man of your word, and so is the Final Boss…  Pack your bags – because you and your daughter are coming to @wwe #WrestleMania,” Johnson said.

“Your tickets, flight, hotel, transportation, and food – are all on me! My team will be reaching out. See you in Philly brother.”

Rodriguez is obviously stoked … and said he’s “forever grateful.”

Johnson’s overwhelming presence among fans is not new. This played out when a fan was moved to tears after Johnson signed his WWE belt during the Black Adam World Tour in 2022.
